Indie labels can't compete with $10 Miles, etc reissues. No way to make it work. X number of folks will buy cd reissue #6 of a "major artist" before trying something different.
Currently artists are recording sessions to be paid in discs to sell on the gig - they rely on the good humor of band members with the implied impression of playing on their next session. All this to sell 400 copies. Even this practice is at an end. I have received offers from very fine "name" artists with nothing asked. Things be fucked.
