Sandy Paton Help: Recommend Indie CD Distributor? (54* d) RE: Help: Recommend Indie CD Distributor? 16 Apr 01

I can't speak for Camsco, but while we at Folk-Legacy try to help a few of our friends market their CDs, we are a retail outlet for them, not a distributor. The job of a real distributor is to get your CDs into retail shops around the country. They have to buy your CD at a lower rate than a retailer in order to make any profit on the transaction. Most distributors are reluctant to take on an individual with only one or two CDs to offer.

I wish you luck with your venture. Jed has done remarkably well with his independent release (in spite of the nasty jibe that appeared the other day in another thread). I've been in this "business" for almost forty years, and believe me, anyone who can sell more than 1000 copies of a single CD in six months or so is doing something right! I'd take his advice, if I were you.

Sandy
