The largest costs of a reissue program are licensing, remastering, preparing a lacquer, preparing stamping materials, preparation of gatefold jacket/box. A small pressing run means fewer pressings over which to amortize fixed costs. Is 1000 @ $40 each the magic number....$40k in revenue per title if you capture all revenue (by direct sale). Mosaic used to charge $10-$12 per LP in a box set, and limit each run to 3500-5000 copies in direct sale. 3500 x 12 =$42k 5000 x $10 = $50k. So it appears that the magic number is between $40k-$50k. Can you realistically sell 1000 premium reissue copies of an obscure title; mostly in the US ?
