Notes From Ralph

"...on one hand, they were so unskilled musically, they kind of felt like 'well, nobody's going to take us that seriously anyway,' you know, in terms of like a record label, 'so we really have to do this ourselves'. And in retrospect, there's a lot of plus to that, and there's a certain downside too... Well, unfortunately you have to do it all, but at the same time there can be a certain advantage to having bigger companies with more resources invested in your product. That can give it more exposure and that can give it more longevity, so it's not like working with a big company is necessarily a bad thing."

"...Cherry Red Records, which is now a 25 percent owner of The Cryptic Corporation... You know, I had a partner, Hardy Fox, who unfortunately passed away about three and a half years ago... but he actually retired two years before that... I had no desire to retire, I was enjoying what I was doing. So it took me a while to enable his retirement along with enabling my own career, but the outcome of that was two companies, MVD... and Cherry Red... each buying Hardy's half, so I retain fifty percent, and each of them 25 percent. Cherry Red has done a phenomenal job of creating this amazing reissue series... It's great to have that stuff out there, nobody's complaining about the income."
