MUSIC STORES
Music Stores | Labels & Distributors | Studios

This section now includes one or two music equipment/supply stores along with the record stores.

There are two general policies stores go by when selling local music. They either consign it or buy it straight out. Consigning means they don't pay you until it's sold. Buying it straight out means they pay you some set amount for a (usually limited) number of copies. In both cases, the store will likely mark it up a few cents to a few dollars, depending on the various costs and preferences involved. (Yep, if they like you or the music, yer likely ta get a better deal.) Stores may mark down or sell items b ack to the artist if they sit dormant for too long.

This is a call to musicians and bands. The Clintonville Community Market is a small natural foods cooperative in Columbus and would like to sell your CDs. We support local and regional food producers, artists and performers. We are expanding our music stock space and would like local and regional groups to bring in their stuff to fill the shelves! We would like a store copy of your CD also( it WILL help sales ). We can consign most artists' CDs right now. We'll be able to do tapes and vinyl soon. Once our sales volume goes up enough, we will be able to purchase product. If you work with a distributor already, we can go through them if you prefer. Feel free to email or call, and ask for Steve or Edward.
