Good advice from Stewart, Barry. If you don't foresee a lot of gigs or are not into big-time promotion, a run of 500 copies is probably plenty. If you have a friend who's a graphic designer, they can take a lot of headache out of getting the cover together. You'll have to decide whether you want a ten-page booklet with your cd or a simple card. Then there's the design that goes onto the cd itself - what is the design, how many colours, etc. All these things affect price. Something else - if you have recorded copyrighted songs, the legalities must be taken care of before any company will duplicate your cd.
