if you can press up a record and it's something you think is good and ends
up other people think it's good too then if you can get it into a record
store people will listen to it (and buy it if they like it) regardless of
whether it is a white label or not.
I have a friend who pressed up only 200 copies of a white label and got
distribution and sold more than half of them...gave lots to
friends/dj's...some on consignment in record shops....but the bottom line is
it got distribution and even went to the UK...doubt they made there money
back with only a 200 pressing but...so it goes...
