When you're pressing 100-2000 copies of something for a specialist
audience (i.e. mostly DJs, who primarily buy things word of mouth
anyway) promoing to radio stations is pointless. It adds a whole
new layer of f*cking with shipping, keeping track of requests,
and the leeches who just grab every promo that comes into
the station and immediately sell it to the record shop around
the corner. WEA can handle this, Sakho can't. (just to pick
a couple of companies out of the air)
I'm not trying to diss college DJs here (I have quite a few friends
who spin radio shows), but you asked...
on now: Dean & DeLuca _Chapter One_ track a2 [funky as _hell_]
