[/quote]Is there even such a thing anymore?[/quote] I live out in the country in a little village in Sweden and we had a CD store and they got bankrupt earlier this year and guess what they had been in the business for 39 years. Yes they where very expensive because they had no other CD store to compete with (I always got a good price that was a little bit less than it was supposed to be) so that did not stop me from buying the regular soundtrack releases from them and yes they could not always get what I wanted but they did try. So the nearest CD store for me now is half an hour drive from where I live instead of 10 minutes. |

Actually, we never had trouble selling to small "mom and pop" stores. It was the large chains where we got badly burned. With them we had to sell via national distributors and constantly fight to collect on old invoices. Being a small label, we had no clout to do battle with. Chains would tie up inventory that we had to pay to manufacture, order whatever they anticipated they would need, pay only the portions of an invoice they felt confident they would sell against, then return whatever they wanted to return anytime they wanted to. In effect, there was never any closure to the sales in the first place. It stunk! The internet became a godsend for us small labels and one of the reasons why chains like the Wherehouse and Peaches and Tower and whatever all went belly up! --Doug |
