personally i love good artwork
it was one of the reasons for me to buy records when i was a kid and i still get enticed by it today.
these days though money is tight and artwork costs , so labels do tend to hold back on it.
Idid an experiment label with just white sleeves and stikers with white labels earlier on this year and you know what? it still cost a small fortune!!!
you really have to weigh up whether your label will sell enough to absorb the artwork costs and remember its the artists money you're spending too, ( theoretically)and you know what we were saying earlier about small amounts of money moving quickly?

but i have to say alan , i've always loved your djax labels so please don't feel that no one cares about it 'cos i do . and i'm sure plenty others do too.
