gorbie,
then a suitable workaround would be to custom make packaging for cds.
Depending on whether or not he wanted to create the discs from his computer, he could bulk order cd-rs with graphics pre-printed (although I can't remember a url for such a company) and burn them himself.
I know there are also companies that will create the cd's and artwork without jewel cases.Solving the problem above is a whole process in itself...
But I just don't see the point to a 7" record. It's 2004, I think bands who put out 7" records do it because it seems like a part of their A-Z process of getting heard. It's kind of out of date.
I wouldn't think for a second about doing that with my band. When you want people to hear your music, or the music on a label you run, you want them to be able to play it-soon, often, and let other people hear it.
I guess it boils down to how you're trying to succeed, and obviously he said he expects to break even, so, no profit.
Personally, I feel like the goal of a record label should be to get music in the hands of all the people who are interested in it in the most viable format possible.
These days, that means CD's.
