cd single GOOD OR BAD ?

[The_Laughing_Man]

There`s no snobbery, but who buys CD singles here?
Put your hands up?
How many people does everyone knows who buys CD?

The best trend to follow is the mainstream really.
Merchanidising

Most mid-level bands and acts in the mainstream area get a lot of their income now from merchandise rather than store sales of CD`s.

T-Shirts, CD`s blah blah, at point of gig.

For CD I think the best way to use them is to get a mix (almost a redundant commodity in terms of paying for them, but hey), or album of your tunes pressed up, and sell them at your gigs.

With manufacturing coming to about £1 - £1.50 a pop for a nice CD, you can sell em at a gig for a fiver.
A bargain for a full length CD.

That way the punter gets it cheap, and the artist gets more money percentage for their art, rather than the distributer and the store sucking up all the cash.

If everybody did this, we`d all benefit, and the scene would have just a little more strength to carry itself.
