Price/min has no place here. All the large labels (Skam, MaS, Schematic Choco
Ind) are mostly releasing 12" singles or EPs. If these were CD they won't
magically become a full length. It would still be a CD single. All I know is
here in MD the cost of manufacturing a 12" is vastly cheaper than a CDS. For
the same price I could get between 100-200 more 12s than CDs depending on my
press size.
