Actually, what puts the entire debate to bed is that if you're sending copies of your CD out for promo many recipients - particularly radio stations -will NOT play an adhesive-labelled CD as a matter of policy (CBC being one major player).

There are any number of places that are set up to do small runs of CDs at a reasonable price.

My trio, EZEDUZIT, went to Eugene Rea (Guelph, southern Ontario). The service, quality & price were excellent (yeah, yeah, that's a bit of a plug, but the guy deserves it - www.reastudios.com).
