That was probably a way of building wholesaler confidence, since that appeared to be a catalog where buyers order from-- hey, see, she has fans, and holy crap they MOBILIZE!!

In my experience so far, when a label says they are working with fans, they actually mean they are letting the fans do what they normally do-- doing the work for them on the grass roots level. Which is probably fine if you think about it, I dunno what they think they could do. Now, Danny and Basia do a fine job of "mobilizing" us and have all through this album's process! And it looks like everyone on their team is doing a good job thus far with the pro stuff.

They will say "We are guarenteed to have at least 3.. or 4..." They have to look in a certain place because as I was checking on one for someone in different cities and they would tell me "No." then... "wait.... yes, we will have at least 3."
