What did singles cost in 1979? I think it cost about 50p to produce each 
one (for a lot of 500) and they sold for about 1.50. We sold them through 
distributors such as Rough Trade and Virgin who bought boxes of 50 for 50 
quid a time (ie a quid a record). I remember getting a cheque from Virgin 
which was drawn on a Coutts bank account, which exemplifies Richard 
Branson's grandiosity.

Of course we gave a lot of them away to family, friends and anyone else who 
wanted one. We weren't in it for the money, maaan.
