It appears that gail wants us to pay for the release:
 
$1000?  I don't think so.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

Well, the $1000 aren't for the actual album, they're for the master tapes and the permission to produce and sell your own copies of the album. Not that this has any chance of working out well.

What a bizarre development.  I guess it saves them the trouble of having to market and ship the things themselves.  But that aspect has always been so central to their business plan, complete control over the catalog.  Suppose I wanted to package mine with "bonus" materials and sell it at a premium?  Sounds like it could be a virtual invitation to bootleg.

That's the funny thing: They're still selling it themselves via their online Barfko-Swill shop, thereby further reducing the potential revenue of the independent distributors.

Huh?  Wow.  This is strange.
