An act on a major label is lucky to get $1 per CD sold-and that's
only after they have paid off the cost of the recording, maybe a video,
etc....they are often in the hole, unless they sell millions.
Some other indie pioneers: Holly Near's Redwood Records, and
Kate Wolf, selling records out of her car and at gigs 25 years ago.
The Beatles started their own record company, Apple, in the mid 60's
-more of an imprint, really.
