the use of limited edition releases

Limited editions Music provides value to the customer. You know your CD won't sell for 10 cents on eBay in a decade so it's a safe investment.

 

Limited editions also provide value to the artist and label. The releases will probably be rated higher, more talked about, they will be respected, sell for extravagant prices, etc.

 

 

I edited it a bit. Hope you like it :).

But with no set limit the future possibilities are infinite, however with a limited release no matter what happens in the future the label has made a commitment to never release any more copies ever in the life of the universe.

 

The reason why they use limited edition, I always thought it was because too many buyers procrastinate buying something so the profits don't come for a release in any decent amount of time. 2 CDs sold a week is not every retailers dream. So if they assume that a CD will only sell around 1000 copies anyway, why not put it as a limited edition, then the fans will mostly try and buy it quickly before it's too late. This way they can recoup the money on the release fairly quickly and have the funds for another release.
