Admittedly there are some extra costs to recoup, like cutting & more studio time. *but* there must be massive economies of scale in things like distribution, promotion, storage and racking, artwork and handling etc etc. Still think almost double the price is taking the piss. > Import 2x12"s are a pisser for you guys, > cost wise, which is why I stopped doing them. Cheers that wise man....;-) ....or why not put the most 'floor style uptempo on one release and the more armchair 'listening' cuts on another?? Get better feedback on what peeps are into that way too. btw the other semi-scam that operates here is the 'fake import'. UK pressed and released gear goes for approx 5.50 ukp, mainland Europe releases go for around 7.50 ukp. This may well even be illegal as in theory the EU is all the same common market same as continental USA. Last time I looked, in Holland, the same thing works in reverse with German, Belgium & Dutch gear going cheaper than stuff from the UK. Funny thing is this actually seems to increase desirability and sales as a result. As a local example CiMs, always excellent, output got a better market visibility in the UK when it came out, at import prices, on Delsin! That extra 40% most help the shops margins??? er yeah....the music. anyone noticed that for some reason there is some well wicked Mk ][ heavy 'floor techno coming out of France atm? arf arf Fox xx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
