£0.50 per album: normal or a rip off?

Hi All,

I've been given a contract for my new album by a label which states that I get 50p for each album sold in the UK and 35p everywhere else. Is this about right? The label has a big distribution network and the albums (mainly sold in CD form) go for around £10 each.

Any advice much appreciated!
