Most people in Missouri think Dub is a pretty good name for a horse.

The first issue of Dubliftment sold out almost instantly but we are talking about a limited edition run of 5000-10,000 pressings mostly for deejays, remixers and collectors. If a UK boutique label like Zion Train can turn a profit doing limited edition pressings of 5000 albums, I don't understand why the major labels can't turn a profit with all of those quadruple platinum albums they sell, even with all the file trading and free downloading going on.



This is bloody fantastic and another reason why more of us should support independent music. I would love to hear the album in full. Keep up the good woek. Superb journal and a real eye opener for me with some names.
