I was just reading in the MCPS magazine how the Incredible String Band funded their last album by inviting 120 people to contribute £60 each for the privilege of watching them record a new album at Real World.
I don't think I could ask for contributions of £60, but I'm floating the idea via MySpace, Facebook and also my private email list that if 500 people could each contribute £10 I could afford to do a new CD - they'd each get a copy of the CD in due course, so really I'm just asking them to pay in advance for their album. Has anyone on this list tried doing this before, and did it work out?
