I see your point about trying to offer good value for money by using as much
CD capacity as possible. Also, you're running a label and I'm not, so please
don't take the following as an argument - in fact feel free to tell me I'm
talking through my arse:
Isn't manufacture one of the lowest parts of the cost? Looking at ads from
duplication/pressing houses, I see things like 1000CDs for £900. OK, that's
90p each, about 13% of a £7 single. But I presume the cost goes down as
volume rises, and that labels like yourself can push for a bit of a further
discount. I thought the problem was that the distribution->retail end were
very hard-nosed about minimum unit return, and wouldn't stock stuff if they
couldn't make a good unit profit. Is this true?
