меня заинтересовали некоторые моменты
Thrill Jockey has released 60 albums (both as CD's and old-fashioned vinyl LP's), singles and EP's. All but three releases have broken even or turned a profit. By contrast, 80 percent to 90 percent of albums from major labels post losses
typical release breaks even with sales of 1,500 CD's and 500 LP's
Ms. Richards started Thrill Jockey while working four days a week ... alternative-rock record store ... She ran the label from her third-floor walk-up apartment ... Her capital was $20,000 from her grandmother, $10,000 from her father and the $5,000 from her savings account; she has never needed another infusion
Last year, Thrill Jockey's profit was $183,000
не то чтобы я б предлагал как-то это обсуждать, просто прикольные факты.Thrill Jockey records most albums for under $3,000, one three-hundredth of what a band like U2 spends
