No comment on the music but I would be surprised if it did sell 1500,
3000 would certainly be pushing it. Average singles only shift about
this number, so like the hangable Autobulbs it's not that limited. Now
250 say, *that's* limited.
The extra costs of mastering to CD, EQing, PQing, Glass masters etc
etc certainly don't make economic sense on such a low key release.
Probably. And then of course there's the hassle of actually doing it
:)
