I can't speak for Grant at Rephlex, but as a person who runs a label I can
certainly understand why people release limited editions of records. When
you press up a record the fact is your tying up a good deal of your money.
Obviously this increases with the more records you press. Next you sell to
your distributors on 30 or 60 day terms. Most distributors are well
meaning, but ask any label how prompt most are with payments... Fact is,
your lucky if you see any money back on a release for close to 90 days. If
your a small label this can cripple your release schedule for 3 months if
you do a large run on a release. I personally would rather put out more
releases than just flog one for that long. How about not dissing labels for
this until you've tryed to run your own. As for all the childish fighting
shit going down, I've got better things to do than delete these messages.
