My Game Music Recordings

| 2 Comments | No TrackBacks
I've collected countless versions of your soundtracks recorded on various sound cards, remixes, reinterpretations.. gigs of the stuff, and I never get tired of listening to them.  I wonder whether there's some official album I could buy, or perhaps something I could get autographed by you?  I'd love some kind of Bobby Prince memento!

You know, I put out a DOOM Music CD several years ago. Amazon made some really good money on it (they charged a ridiculous fee to sell things). It was fun to do. I learned a lot about what not to do, too. I also decided way back then that the CD was going to be a dead item sooner than later. [My opinion is their cost to value ratio has killed them.] But, somewhere I have maybe 10-20 of the 1000 I had pressed. If I can find them in storage, I'll make them available for sale with proceeds going to some charity. I'll post it here if/when I find them. I just checked and as of September 2008, Amazon charges 55% of the sales price of a music CD. That's crazy! It's less, though, than they charged me. As I recall, I "maybe" received 20% of a sale. The CD originally cost me 15% of the sales price, so I was clearing less than 5% when you take my cost of shipping to Amazon into account. And I had to ship the CD's in small bundles whenever Amazon decided they needed them.

Thanks for asking this question. Now I remember why I decided never to produce a CD again!

Oh, and yes, I've tried the on-line virtual sales. The only people making money there are the middle men. What site of this type does anything more than house your music on their server, hoping that your songs sell at least well enough so they get their minimum monthly fee?

I'll never do this again. Like a past President once said, "There's an old saying in Tennessee. I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says: 'Fool me once ... ... ... ... ... shame on ... ... ... ... ... shame on you ... ... ... ... ... .... If fooled, you can't get fooled again."

So like all Tennesseans and Texans, I won't be fooled more than once :-)
