this kind of relates to what i was reading in an interview with tom lax about the history of siltbreeze records. he said the reason why he stopped siltbreeze was to do with the label getting locked into a contract where they had to press a minimum of 5000 copies for every record they released, so he ended up with boxes and boxes of records he could't sell. he said the most they'd normally press would be 1000. the upside of this is that a lot of siltbreeze stuff is now dirt cheap.
