Just some thoughts, other opinions please. later4now! It is actually cheaper to put out a cd than a piece of vinyl. Remember a cd can hold 74 min. Vinyl comes no where near this. For the same price that I can press vinyl I can press cds and be able to put more music on it. So price per minute of music is cheaper for a cd. Believe me that matters. Next, a lot of places will actually price cd pressings cheaper than vinyl pressings. why? because it is easier to press a cd. my label's first release will be a cd. The second will be vinyl. Why? because that one is aimed at the dj/people who want to mess with the sounds crowd. Mp3s will be made available of the vinyl release for those that do not own a turntable. -daniel p.s. I think skam should put out limited edition golf balls signed by lego feet. That would be really keen. They could make them different colors and hard to bootleg. Think of all the money they have been wasting on putting out music when they could have put out sporting goods. I know I love my skam baseball.
