K-tel: One-Note Wonder

 PROFILE
K-tel International, the company that practically invented the phrase "not sold in stores," produces and markets prerecorded music (primarily compilations) that it creates with music from more than 35,000 titles it owns or licenses from third parties. The company sells its products -- CDs, cassettes, DVDs -- to wholesalers, rack jobbers, and retail stores, as well as to consumers through direct marketing and Internet activities. It also licenses music to other companies. K-tel has shuttered its consumer products division, which generated nearly 50% of the company's sales by marketing housewares, exercise equipment, and other items throughout Europe. Founder, chairman, and CEO Philip Kives owns about 48% of K-tel.
