Congratulations on 30 great years! I read Pat Leyland's column on where The Money Goes, and a couple of things jumped out at me. First was Chris Taylor's breakdown that stated that about 10 years ago, the manufacturing cost of an album was a dollar. As I recall, at that time the cost of a disc in a jewel case was about $0.90. So if you also consider the one-time cost of setting up the disc artwork, let's call it a dollar a pop for the first 3,000 CDs.
