Yeah, we just ordered a huge new batch of t-shirts which will be for sale, probably a couple of different designs. We also ordered 500 stickers which will most likely be free or for a minimal donation. We were thinking about buttons, but I'm not sure if we'll have any of those. Hopefully we will have some 7" records and the new Oh Mandy single as well, as those are pretty limited edition items.
And Strangler, I can't really answer your question because I don't even know myself. First off, our record label needs to recoup all the money they spent to put the record out, so they get all the money from the sales up to $20,000 or $40,000, whatever they spent. After that is when it gets split 50/50...But since I'm not a songwriter, I won't get as many "points" on each song as the songwriters do, so how much I see personally is another issue. It's been a complicated process with our label and lawyers and quite frankly money is the last thing that I can even think about...All I know is that we get paid in Bi-annual supplements. Oh, and I know that when we buy the records from the record company for us to sell on the road, we pay them $4 and sell them for $10 so we make $6 each time which is obviously the sweetest deal for us, though places like Borders and other record stores sell the album for $12-$17, so we could be collecting some good money there...I dunno, it's complicated and it's the ugly side of all the business...
