Start an independent record label

So, I was able to press a few copies via a friend’s PC just before the holidays. So that makes my official release date December, 2007. Already sold about a dozen copes, and now with my new iMac (drool) I’ve been burning more copies to sell at open mics and performances. I’m playing a show in NJ in mid-March. Perhaps I’ll get a few more copies sold!

So the artwork is in from the printer, and it looks great. However, the CD duplicator I bought is being buggy – it performed the test run flawlessly, but any attempt afterward has ended in strange errors. May need to return it and re-think my duplication process. Gah! Still hoping for a December release date. May need to use the good old CD burner and press these suckers one-by-one.

my first release comes out this month – next steps are registering the name, logo, getting a PO box, legal fees… lots of paperwork…
