I made a comment in Mixo's 8-track thread about doing some split CD-rs and said there that I'd start a thread about it when I had the chance to think about it some more. Well, I haven't really got too much in concrete yet, but I'm going to start the thread in any case.
Basically, it would be fairly cheap for us to put out CD-rs, either as collaborations or splits to spread the expense. The costs would be pretty low. I know I can get 50 run off in plastic sleeves with a single sided insert for about £60. If you wanted to do the artwork yourselves, or work out some packaging, then the cost would be even lower. I've also got a lightscribe-enabled laptop so I could burn off the CDs myself and print them as well, reducing costs even more. Or failing that, I could always use the old underground stand-by of spray-painting them, although I've heard rumours that the paint can eat into the CD and render them unplayable.
(At this point, I will insert the disclaimer that, although my laptop is lightscribe-enabled, I don't have any software to run it and I don't know how much it will cost, if anything. There is also the small matter of each CD taking about 20 minutes to burn)
So, is there any interest in this or has anybody anything to add?
