[kj] A Better option

[peter.west410]

The costs would nt have been that great.Its basically only studio time that
would have to be paid for.If KJ were concerned about their music,they could
of twiddled the knobs themselves and thus getting the sound they wanted,and
not have to pay a re-mixer
     All the other extra stuff has already been recorded,so its just a case
of gathering it all together and putting it on the same disc.
    Producing DVDs en masse for retail is very cheap.All the extra sales
they would get because of the extra content would easily cover the initial
expense.
     How many people will be compelled to buy a CD that they already own
just because of an extra remix on the end of it?
