Along with sales to distributors, Vinyl on Demand provides a subscription service.

[3] Initially, Vinyl on Demand focused on German releases by artists such as Die Tödliche Doris, Hermann Kopp and Mutter.

Over the years, its catalog has grown to feature recordings of other late 1970s and early 1980s by musicians such as John Duncan, Clair Obscur, Current 93, The Legendary Pink Dots, SPK, Nurse with Wound, Psychic TV, Asmus Tietchens, Conrad Schnitzler, Merzbow and Stratis.

[4] Initially, Vinyl on Demand's purpose was to re-release on vinyl many of the limited edition cassettes in Maier's collection, but as time passed the reissues became deluxe box sets with material from cassettes as well as unreleased material.

[5] Early on, Vinyl on Demand began selling yearly subscriptions to collectors, often providing extras exclusively for subscribers.
