Ah but then why release a record at all.
We don`t do it just for the knowledge that music can be made into plastic do we?
Regardless of money I`m sure you want people to buy the records, if it was just for the love then why not just give it all away.
I`m not even slightly saying that money should be a motivator for releasing, however, all this altruistic stuff we get on here can be a little turgid.
We put out records because we want people to hear it and play it.
Not for some higher cayse of a messiaanic "gift" to the fans.
Otherwise, we would give it all away.
