[kj] What? Records:

[Rob Moss]

Seriuosly, you don't think the band make money out of that do you?

 90% of what you described has nothing to do with the band. They will have lost money on that single release.

 Just got my single and album from What Records yesterday (ship date was 4/14). All arrived intact and in good order, although the CD was unwrapped, which I thought odd.

 If anyone is still wondering how the band generate revenue short of Youth loaning them all a daily fiver: the single contains exactly one unique tune ("Penny Drops"). This cardboard-sleeve single cost me $8.50US, plus another $4US for shipping.

 In all, I paid app. $13US for one song. I don't even want to think about what that one song cost the people who also bought the vinyl.

 At least "New Uprising" will only set me back a dollar, assuming they get their digital distribution issues resolved.

 I can't even say it without laughing...
