Record Column: Springboard repackages old albums for $1.99
Dan Pugliese builds Springboard, an independent label buying rights to old major artist albums and repackaging them for sale at $1.99. He releases 200 titles yearly on a dozen labels, earning six million records and 2.5 million tapes in annual sales, with profits near $5 million in December. He notes sound quality varies with master tapes, combats it with liner notes, and emphasizes marketable artists who retain name value.
