I get my phthalo cdrs for less than others do because i ocassionally do work for them, so i'm not affected by the high price of the releases. But i do agree that 12-17$USD for cdrs is quite high. When i once asked Dimitri about the high cost of his cdrs he said it's because, unlike other cdr labels, he signs more established artists for his label. I dont know if i agree with that line of reasoning but i will say that the music on most of the phthalo label releases is very good, and, if i had to pay full price to get them, i would still buy more than half of their current catalog. -->-Lance--- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
