Totally. But if you're feeling pressure from these distributors to push on with your label maybe you should just explain to them that it's not worth pushing you. If they can't understand that then maybe you shouldn't be with the distributor. Why put yourself in jeopardy by rushing a product? Stay true and release what you're really proud of, when you want to do it. If the distributor isn't cool with that then maybe it wasn't meant to happen. Distributors forget that musicians are artists too, and more musicians need to take a stance sometimes and hold off to put something out that they are truly proud of...otherwise what is the point?
