hey marc,

a buddy & i were thinking about doing the same thing (putting out a comp)
and
we were going to charge the same figure, but we were going to limit the
number
of artists to 6, and allow everyone 2 tunes--that way people pay more
attention to each artist. we were also going to give everyone 50 cds, and
use
the remaining for promos & whatnot. given that our project would have paid
for itself w/half as many artists, $200 does seem a lot to pay.

... ...and that's the t-bird opinion (whether you asked or not!)
