Artists usually pay to record cds these days. In return they receive a number of cds to sell by themsleves. Depending on the name/popularity of the artist, the deal can be that the record company will pay more and the artist less, or the artist will get more or less cds. So if you want to make sure Tony gets something for his efforts, you'd better buy directly from him, and not from he label. But, buying from the label will increase the chances that the label is interested in recording another cd with him. So, buy two cds!
