It wouldn't work. You see...(Boring business stuff to ignore), Small bands are sold on SOR (Sale or Return) Meaning if it doesn't sell, send it back and say why. Stupidly sucksessful bands are just shipped in in large quantities and if they don't sell the basically the record shop suffers for getting it wrong. (I'm not sure if this works for huge corporate scumf*ck companies as it does for little shops.

I just want to say that, as much as you'd like to, it's not the shop's fault! (Unless it's HMV or something evil like that). I work in a little record store in my home town, and so many customers come in and blame us for the crap that the record labels force upon us.
