Marillion took this path after going independent. I believe they've done it for more than one album, but the one I'm aware of is Marbles: fans paid upfront for the album, and that money paid for it to be recorded. Those who paid early received a limited edition copy (which contained all those people's names). Obviously this particular path is only going to work for established artists; for those artists there is indeed evidence that it does work. -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
