Distributers will carry a label if it is self financed, because their is no risk.
If you are on a P&D then the distributer has the say on what happens with the label, and it isn`t your label.
I think people don`t give the record buyers enough credit. I go to a record shop, and get a pile and listen to it.
There are some people, who come into a record shop, and will only listen to the latest beyer, or lekebush or whatever. These people will allways be like that, name followers. They will never change.
Too many people these days have no patience and want everything now.
Ultimately, if you do it off your own back, then you will feel much prouder, and much more fullfilled than if you use someone elses name to boost your own.
