I have heard, that Naxos, pays an artist, an up front fee of $1400.00 per CD. and no royalties. They figure they will sell 2000, and that's it. Your better off doing it at home on your computer with a good mic. and marketing them for $15.00 or $ 20.00 a CD rather than $7.95. Surely, better for the artist. I wouldn't hesitate to buy Barto's Cd's at that price. He would get what he deserves.
