MAKE MINE MUSIC – A STATEMENT
After ten years of releasing music, Make Mine Music will close its doors for the final time at the end of 2011. We are very proud of what we've achieved, running the label ourselves and releasing nearly 70 albums and EPs. However, busy personal lives, rising costs, diminishing sales and the increasing number of "illegal" downloads have forced us to think long and hard about our future. In short, we decided that it was better to quit now rather than compromise or go on half-heartedly.
A few of the artists whose music was released on the label now consider themselves to be retired, whilst others will continue to release their music elsewhere. All of the releases on the label have now been deleted, so if you are missing anything from your collection, now would be a good time to buy those CDs or records. Our friends at Norman Records in Leeds will continue to provide our mail order service until we run out of stock. We have also lowered the prices of many of the releases, should you need an extra incentive.
We would like to say a warm and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years by buying our releases or otherwise extending a hand of friendship. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Scott Sinfield, November 2011
