Eh, I think the answer to that question would be that
you contact an individual distributor...of which there
are many...
So to follow up on that, can anybody give a nutshell
explanation of how distributors work? I guess they
hook up wiht record companies and play middle-prson to
stores, right? So how do these 3 parties hook up?
how do record stores choose thier distributor? How do
distributors choose the labels they distribute for?
I was banging on that site for a while longer and
its'a little flaky...a lot of non-helpful
server/database errors and stuff. Still worth
checking out though.
