an ozrics question

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

Between what you and Richard mentioned, the bottom line on the 'Spice Doubt'
CD is that, techically, it is rare. We would love to get hold of a box full
at CDS.
Basically what happened was that it came out very suddenly, with no
pre-promotion and as a limited edition. Because it was a one-off deal
between the label and the band, with proceeds being shared, the distributor
was not the normal one and most outlets failed to get any because by the
time they found out about it, and who on earth was selling it, the
distributors (Telstar Leisure as they were known) had sold out, We shifted a
load, but supplies literally lasted about two weeks and then it was gone. I
recently spoke to the Ozrics camp about this and about 7500 were presed of
which  over healf went to the USA on export, and they reckon that someone
somewhere is still sitting on a whole stack of the CD's. Ironically, also,
the group have never been paid one red cent by the label for the run of 7500
that were all sold - familiar story?????
Hope that helps - anyone want to add anything?
Andy Garibaldi.
