Mellotronists

Dude, 
just release them on iTunesUK using a nice indie "digital aggregator"
such as http://www.awal.co.uk
iTunesUK sells more product these days than any record shop ANYWAYS,
so it's a "proper" release.
And if people buy the stuff, you get paid.
If they don't, all it cose you was about 2 hours to type up all the
required paperwork and metadata, the cost of a CD-R and the postage
to, erm, Sheffield.
The yacht will still be in the showroom waiting....
