Labels
I'm looking for a bit more understanding of these small record labels and how they work, financially.
Do the people behind the labels pay for all the costs behind s "signed band" such as studio time, releasing records, marketing and all other miscellany and then recoup some of the profit (though I understand that significant profit is rare)
OR
Do the band themselves cover some or all of the costs and the record label provide them with "services"?
