low overhead
From a BBC News article titled “100 things we didn’t know this time last year”:
4. An average record shop needs to sell at least two copies of a CD per year to make it worth stocking, according to Wired magazine.
There is no link to a qualifying story from there but it begs the question, why don’t we see more of these low selling albums in the stores? I refer mainly to local acts and newer albums by international artists and independents. I understand that many older albums by well known artists may fall into that sales bracket as well, (eg: Roxy Music’s first album, while great, isn’t that popular anymore) but how about offering more room to new music?
You said.
