Whats the difference between me doing my own CD, and having it in the Frog Peak catalog, and a Frog Peak CD?
Any Frog Peak artist can make her own work, and put it in Frog Peak as part of her catalog. We have no say about what that CD looks like, sounds like, etc. When FP artists do CDs on our label, we take a considerable degree of control over production, design, sound, liner notes, etc., in the same way that a more conventional label would. We have our own designer (Michael Sumner), our own CD mastering and sound guru (Tom Erbe), and our own editors, as well as a set of informal guidelines about the look, feel, and production of our CDs.
