ahhh... just noticed on itunes that there's a song called We Were Wrens

I've no idea what that is... it's nothing to do with us..

and I've just noticed that if you view the album "view in iTunes", the preview clips are much longer

Brilliant news , well done . I am curious have you signed with a royalties collection agency like BMG ? if so would be interested in your experience as apparently a contract offer is on the way to my daughter , but have no idea what it entails .

Clarky

I'm signed up with PRS and the record label does all the MCPS

PRS handles writer's royalties and pay me

MCPS pay the label for mechanical royalties and the label pays me

or something like that

bertie

fuckin spammers

Clarky

wow... I didn't know PRS were spammers..

Thks , it is interesting for me as I am in the early process for my daughter . We have a "producer " contract and they have paid for all of the production of the Masters. The producer was given an advance of $1m to develop new talent and I understand my daughter is the first "project" . We have agreed our points on the Masters /Writing/  and 360 and a conversion rate if a label wants to buy the producer out.

I understand there is a contract offer on the way from the people that gave the producer the advance , but not yet sure what this entails and how many points it will cost. To be honest I know very little , but have two good books recommended to me from this here forum. The process she is going through seems a little different from the norm. As to the producer contract our lawyer said he had never seen a contract like it , and it had good and bad points for her. So I am interested as to how things work for other people.  The other difference is they are targetting for her to be launched in the US not here. I will of course use lawyers /accountants and have them waiting in the wings...

my situation is completely different

this album is being released by the label that just happens to be owned by the bassist

musicegbdf

That's handy   Can he actually play the bass as well.

Must admit I am trying to learn from other peoples experience as well as from Books as she has no idea and I am trying to help guide her.

Clarky

haaa....

check out the clips and you'll find that he is a stonking bassist...

absolutely top drawer..

with respect toto your daughter.. this must be really tough.. cos you're trying to guide someone in something that you're trying to learn about [and have not previous experience with] whilst you're learning about it..

must be very difficult
