Like everyone else it seems, I'm trying to start a minuscule label. I was wondering if any of the more business-savvy list members might have any advice on how to approach distributors? Which ones are good to contact? Which ones are distributing IDM labels? I know some of the players (Watts, Unique, Majestic). I've looked at the Dance Music Business Resource regarding distribution, but it doesn't say too much about how to approach distributors, or what they are looking for. Vinyl or CD releases? How many releases should a label expect to have in its immediate catalogue? Or is it even worth approaching a distributor; should small labels look to sell direct? I'd really appreciate any advice from some of you who've done this. Thanks! -Jesse --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
