well at one time I'm sure 250 grand would just about be Daniels producer fee for a full album....I remember when Don Was was about 20 grand a track when he was considered for the Band project i was associated with at the time...that would have worked out to about 250 for the whole album as well....thats curious about Allaire's interest... I would think dumping the ssl would put a serious dent in any mix biz they might have....at any rate Bearsville had a great 8068 one of the great consoles of all time....it certainly should go to a good home....maybe Lenny kravitz will wind up with it...he's got everything else..

cheers
