My point for the initial post was just to point out that there might be a problem with their distribution channels. You're points are definitely true.<P>NYC Music vets definitely know of the places you mention and the chains are not neccesarily the place to go diggin for good music. However, if a new artist is trying to break out, they need to be prominently displayed in these chains and the staff at these places need to know about their record. Most folks are gonna just walk into a big chain store to make their music purchases.<P>"Only when lions have historians will hunters cease to he heroes." - African Proverb
