Coloured vinyl is extra per unit. Cutting holes in sleeves is extra per unit. Clear sleeves cost more per unit. Stickers or inserts cost extra to make and extra to stick-on/put-in to the record (if you're not doing it yourself). Courier charges. I'd be surprised if V/Vm make much on their (vinyl) releases unless they sell at a nice price to their distributor (can anyone say Markant?). You only start to make money (if thats important to what you're doing) when you start hitting bigger pressing figures (unless you go the dirtcheap white label, paper sleeve option) or unless you get a nice deal from your distributor. || [CiM] || xxx_@xxxxxxx.xxx || - ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
