Thanks and a thousand more thanks to you

Creating a good looking CD and getting everything right for duplication takes a lot of time - and that is after you have created the music!

I am pleased that you found the information helpful. The following link should work to Thane Productions - sorry about my dud link in the earlier post.

Thane Productions

I am going to send you the three PDF files that we used on Kyle's second CD. I will send them in a personal e-mail rather than take up space here. When you print the pages you will all the sizes, folds, colors and other information we used to instruct the print. You can simply delete our artwork but use the templates for the booklet, inlay, cover and the artwork for the CD itself and then you will have the correct format and sizes for the printer.

I note that Gemz has a duplicator - so check that out too.

I see that Eric Ewen has over 2000 friends on myspace. Here is a promotional idea for the band's CD release:

Make a special offer to all your "friends" - every "friend" gets the new CD for £1.

If they all order one you will have taken in enough money to order 3,000 copies (cost £1950) - make a £50 profit and still have 1,000 CDs to sell that are costing you nothing.

Think about it - the "friends" get a superb deal and you have financed your duplicating costs.

keep rockin'
