Dear list: I heard that labels rarely ever lose on a cd. After all the 
artist is charged for everything.If an act is dropped its only because the 
label felt they could  earn a HIGHER   return   off the same effort invested 
     elsewhere  plus there is the issue of scheduling [plant time  for A 
versus B.    baby bands always make the labelmoney. superstars  with big 
advances Can lose on the huge advance.  Then again the label can carry an 
item for years > the  Blue Note catalog has earned its cst back by the time 
they moved it to cd.
