Hi Skip, It really depends, I've done both and I prefer it when a company can pay up front to get the band into a decent studio and pay eveyone up front. Then I buy copies from the company and sell them on stage. I can recoup what I put out for the copies easily enough but I just wanted to point out that it's not pure profit.
Between the bandstand, the net, and those little distributors that service Downtown Music Gallery and that one store in every city that stocks you or me or our nefarious little buddies, you'll reach your audience more expediently.
Mmm...yes and no...I have a direct conduit to the folks who come to the show but the company has a wider overall reach. So we work together. ================================= ELLeRY ESKELiN/MiCHELLE VAn NaTTA RaMiChElLeRy/PrImE SoUrCe PrOdUcTiOnS http://home.earthlink.net/~eskelin/ =================================
