Hi. Something I've been considering for a while is starting a record label. Yes, yes, I know.. the last thing we need is another label.. Anyway, I've been reading what I can about this aspect of the music industry, and as much as I can about the dance field in particular. However, there is still a lack of information about this. I was wondering if anyone on this list has started a label, and if you wouldn't mind sharing with me a bit about your experiences. I'm wondering what sales strategies are the most effective, distributing yourself, or through a distributor, vinyl vs. cd's in terms of sales, initial catalogue size, etc... Or if someone has a nice idea ("I'd like to see a label that did . . . . .") , that would be great too. Sorry to waste precious time and bandwidth, but any and all comments (+ or -) are welcome. Thanks, I really do appreciate. -Jesse (reply in private to keep off list; in consideration of others) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
