That's true - the mark-up on 400 records at that price would be about £14 - take away £1 for postage and admin etc, they'd still make about £5000 for selling through all copies, which they will undoubtedly do. Split between the label and the artist, it's still a pretty hefty cut, much more than they'd ever get on a standard 12" release...

I mean, both of 'em so far have been very very nice. I don't have the rob hood one yet, but I had a listen to a friends. so is it a rip-off? I guess I feel a little aggreived at paying so much, but I would reguarly pay that much for a second hand record I guess. and, I guess they have to pay the artist a considerable amount, and there's only 400 of them - so £16, I doubt they're even making much on them? whaddya think? _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
