I partially agree because a lot of people are still not hip to the internet. You still need some type of distribution deal to get your cd's in the well known record stores. I am a musician and a consumer. I still like to browse the cd's at the local record store. Only then if I can't find something I want, I turn to the internet. However, if an artist is capable of playing, producing and pressing up their own product, then the internet is the way to go. You recoop your investment 100%. But you really have to get into the promotion of your product or no one will even know that you anything to sell.

Just my 2cents...

Peace

Hey David : You're right,I figured with advances in technology they could reach fans they never knew they had.......say a small remote island where they have no stores. But you're on point about product availability in the larger chains in heavily populated areas.

That's good newz Phil about Spyro ! It's just strange seeing them and The Ripps on independent labels....But at least you'll still be able to buy their product in the stores as David previously mentioned.

Phil,

That's the best news I've heard this week. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Hmmm. Head's Up/Telarc. I have other CDs from that label I believe - I'll have to check when I get home. Does that ring a bell with anyone else?


David,

I know this is cross posting, but I just wanted to let you know I got Metrocafe on your recommendation and I really like it a lot.

I believe that Ken Navarro was also on that label. As was a female sax player whom I cannot remember her name. Pamela Williams I think!
