So if you wanna distribute records, do me a favour and make sure Virgin stock them will ya? Cheers B

My front door backs on to the chicken place (KFC) Which stands for kentucky fried cunts And it does smell strangely of onion rings and bubble gum Well indigo would know shes been there I suppose.. Sorry bout the smell m but hey! You get to work in a great Dysfunctional studio - By the way im just looking into making records.. If you made 2000 records with full colour artwork it would cost you roughly 2400 quid .. minus the 8 percent that mcps takes in uk and minus manufacturing and the percentage the distributor takes you are left with about 1700 squid and that's if you don't give away any promo copies or hire any company for promotion... If you give away say 200 promo copies (£3.25 each) and pay the promotion company say 3 squid a copy to promote it you are left with about five hundred quid.. take away the time it takes you to make the record... oops Basically you are left with one can of beans and half a fag.. That's counting on the fact that you sell all 2000 immediately otherwise you have to wait till the end of each month for your next cheque from the distributor... So the only way you can make money is by licensing records or putting them on comps .. OR... internet sales ...that seems realistically in the first steps of a label the only way you can make something ... still looking into it .. let us know what you think..

Cheers kris
