Wow, and you will have to excuse me. Although, you guys have been talking about this for a long time now, I, on the other hand, just realized that Retrospect had their own little section over here. After browsing through several posts, I can see that my initial thoughts about the label were true. But one question that continue's to contradict......While defending your label, over and over, you continually state, "ask the musicians if they ever got paid on other labels", constantly stating that the musician is no longer getting screwed, because you pay the artist.....if you figure that you printed a hundred each of the TKO titles, sold them for 15 a piece, say your cost to print was a few hundred dollars (at most) for each pressing, And not one of the band members has ever seen a dime, while you make over a couple of grand? You are worse than any label, because they footed the bill for the recording you stole, they paid for the promotion, they paid for the band to live, they paid for a tour. So although, you may think that you are doing a great service to the world, all you are doing is putting out second-rate product (I didn't even realize, that most of your product came out on cdr's) and ripping off musicians in the process.
