Hmmmmmm? I can see the arguements from both sides.. but please everyone remember that often when small labels release records they do it through bank loans, or just dont eat very well for a few years. Even though they may be able to sell any records they produce, its usually the question of getting the capital together to actually set it going, and then theres the fact that even if you do sell them all you may not end up in profit. If i ran a small record label my priority would be the next record not represses of older titles.... so those older titles often suffer. Steve /k/./F/ http://freespace.virgin.net/kung.funk/kf.htm
