>anyway, i don't really have an answer... well me either, but here's a good 'un.......
12's sales decline rapidly (for about 20 different reasons), your record label has relied in the past on them to make a few quid to keep going. so, a record that used to sell, say, 3000, now does 1000. bit of a problem no? so, you see that ltd things go for cash money on ebay, and also that an increasing number of records are bought by people when they're released, just for the "I don't want to pay double for it in the future" factor. right? probably stemming from all that skam madness, amongst other things. so, you do a super ltd series with artists who people clamour after releases from, you charge £16 a record, give up a grand for manufacturing, say two grand to the artist (who's thinking "f**k me, this is easy money"), and the three grand goes in your a*se pocket to help keep your label going, and everyones a winner right? you got to hand it to 'em, it's a bit of a masterstroke. and a good way of getting round current problems. certainly more than my pea sized brain could concoct that's for sure. am I right in thinking that's it now for the standard 12" release from peacefrog? There was the moodyman, but that was an album promo thing right? & it was moodymann, and he could sell sand to the arabs...? thing is, I don't even begrudge peacefrog a right to make money, they got staff to employ, artists to pay,and lets face it, we've all had plenty of enjoyment from peacefrog through the years (far more than £16 worth). so, f**k it, I'll buy 'em. Maybe I'm a mug though, but I'm not arsed..... thats it, I'll shut up for the day...... _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- 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.
