Yes we paid alot to licence it, in fact it was a split deal with Manny, who was aware of the retail. Manny has made some great records that people have paid him peanuts for in the past, then sold for £££, ie Nu-Rons. So we were happy to see him earn a fair bit from this release. How much, none of your business. Also 500 hundred happy customers feel the same way. Unlike some, at least we did pay a licence fee or others that pay the owners as little as possible then take most of the profite themselves. Each record we will put out, will be priced based on the deal we have with the peeps we licence from. So our next release is going to be half the Rotations price, as that is what we have agreed with the artists, who have full visability of the profit. Just the same way as Jazzman Records runs it's business. Have a nice day Dave

About 20 years ago I found 20 copies of Billy Hambric at a car boot sale in Oxfordshire. The guy had a box of about 50 records, everything else was beat up pop, Abba etc and these. When I asked where they came from, he just said 'do you want them or not, 50p each'
