4 days studio time, £800-£1000, Record material that is well rehearsed, and will not take too many takes, another few hours of the engineers time mixing and mastering. Find a friend who knows a bit about graphic design to do the artwork, and a good replication company who will do an initial short run, with complete production costs of around £2.00-£3.00 per unit, sell for £10.00 and if you are an artist worth your salt and people will purchase your disc, you'll soon be in profit, and banking money to fund the next recording. Easy!
