I promised myself I would not contribute to this thread but because of the
above I have to. Do not believe for a moment that small labels make the
above. I wish I made 7.50 a CD. The sad fact is that I am lucky if we
get back our original investment. small labels are labors of love. The
people that distribute us do not make that kind of money either.
btw, by your figures where does a store fit in?
