I knew it wouldn't be cheap, I was just hoping it would be viable. >32,500 quid/minute was just a _wee_ bit more than I expected though. I think that should be 2,500 quid. ASCI seems to translate the symbol for pounds sterling to =A23. That's why some people use "#" - the US symbol for lbs. Still at #2,500 per minute, that still adds up to such a lot that 10,000 sales with say #5 profit per sale only covers 20 minutes of footage, let alone cover other costs of DVD production or makes any money for BB. A DVD will sell even less than his albums (higher cost. lower penetration of teh UK/US market compared to CD). I think it will be hard for anyone to make money on a Numan DVD unless the source material is essentially free. If Gary sold 500,000 copies it would be a totally different proposition, but those days are long gone. Sorry to sound pessimistic, but I believe this is reality. Derek P.S. hmv.co.uk has the UK Pure CD as one of their #6.99 CDs. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 01 Sep 2001 19:57:59 +0100 From: vickers@netcomuk.co.uk Subject: Re: Festival Reviews Gary has appeared in ?five Festivals this summer.
