Tweed, So what your suggesting is:

"Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!" "Come and get your Mudcat CD set!" "Unknown amateur musicians!" "Oh Yeah" "Pay now, maybe get it later" "Oh Yeah"

Hardly going to work, is it?

Quite where you get the idea that Max has "enormous advertising capabilities" is beyond me, too.

The market for a Mudcat CD is (at most) the couple of hundred people who regularly come here. That's about it.
