Its a fairish point, Arin - though if Hawkwind were releasing their own
records on their own label would you have the same problem with it? I'm
guessing maybe not - and its this discrepancy between indie labels and
self-publishing that Eric has quite rightly identified.

Still, as somebody who *might* have to go down that road for a specific
project I agree with the need for editing in-put. Fortunately, I;ve got that
side of my project very well sorted  :-)
