WTF?
That artist who designs the cover will have nothing to do with the supply/demand of the CD. She'd/He'd will be paid a fixed fee no matter what. Otherwise she'd/he'd have to asses how likely the CD is to succeed before she/he done the "design" - which would be 1) costly and 2) unlikely as the record label want to it to succeed as much as possible so price fixing would be an issue.
And £5 for a single? Huh?! According to The Official UK Charts Company Website, the min price for a single CD is £1.20; otherwise the single is not eliabgable for entry. So surely no one would charge £5 for a single.
