Well ok, but what about really limited/underground stuff, a bit like when stuff gets released on white label first to create a buzz, but instead use the buzz to promote the artist, rather than the record and only ever give the record a limted release or whatever.

I mean I know some records never get released, and I think it's really cool, shows they're not in it for the money, but the love of the music. I'm not talking just making a copy for themselves necessarily, but never giving it a full release, or just making 10 copies at most, somewhere in that region...

Was wondering how common that sort of thing is though.
