The Beatles commanded huge pre sales bonus commissions, even if they only received minimal payment per disc. Think of it as a NFL signing bonus.....just ink the contract and you get so much money.Bout 25 years ago (Sir) Elton John was on the Today show grumbling that with the advent of CD's the record companies REDUCED his per disc premium saying that their CD's were so expensive to produce. Of course by then, CDRs were so cheap they were almost free, which angered Elton ( he was obviously furious about being lied to and being forced to take a cut).
