before you read this, this post isn't aimed at barry's label, its just a general comment on the vinyl scene which al is referring to. (just in case there's any misunderstandings) I don't know what the situation was with your distro, all though i'd be interested to see what you mean about costs. As as far as i know your distributor should be making money not costing money

It is a bit sketchy with vinyl at the moment, but you've just got to make sure it's a quality release. Also i think it helps to aim for more than one sub-genre so as not to narrow your potential target market too much.

Hopefully this toughness of sales will start to bring a bit of quality back into the vinyl market, which has been over-saturated with mediocre music as of late.

Labels must either realise they can't throw average records out or go bust.

The problem with the digital market is that due to the minimal running costs and low risk it's very over-saturated. There are some absolutely briliant digital only tracks & labels but it just also seems that for every one of those labels there's 10 sub-standard ones... but then i suppose it's always been like that with vinyl as well
Also i'm not looking @ taste here i'm talking about production quality.

I really hope that the market doesn't become so tough that it becomes digital only.
