Released to manufacturing

You might recall that a few a weeks ago, I put together a prototype CD of my Penmachine Podcast free podsafe instrumentals to send to CBC Radio, and that I've been thinking of selling audio CDs too.

Well, now I'm committed. I've sent a master CD and artwork off to Diskfaktory in California, and should have my first shipment of shrink-wrapped Penmachine Sessions CDs in two to three weeks. Back in 1994, which was the last time I was involved in putting an album together, making a CD was too expensive for my band, The Flu, to contemplate, so we ended up releasing a cassette.

Now my manufacturing cost per CD will probably end up between $3 and $4, including artwork, jewel cases, and the whole bit. It's a good thing I'm not charging myself for my time, though.

Oh, and if you're interested in pre-ordering a copy, get in touch.
