I have to agree with Ralphie. When I brought out a CD with concertina player Kitty Hayes some years ago I received several angry (yes really) e-mails from people who thought it appropriate to give out to me because I hadn't made the tracks available as downloads. Much more money could be made was the suggestion. Now, that wasn't the objective of the whole operation so that didn't convince me but I looked into it for good measure. A friend had managed to get a CD on iTunes and said it was an unbelievable hassle. I looked at the CDbaby terms and didn't think it was worth the effort.

CD was what we set out to do, the full booklet and all, and that's what we did. An initial run of 1500 and a small extra run of seventy five or so (the printer had printed a surplus of covers/booklets so we used that up, with the master made it was a cheap run). And that was it, it has run it's course.
