Stories like this one are very common, i think. Artists that do not get paid, ripped off etc etc. The worst of them being Larry Sherman and Trax Records.
But you never hear of the companies that actually do a good job. Last year I had the pleasure of having a track included on the Fabric 60 Dave Clarke compilation. I think both Fabric and Tracksuite both do a fine job, Just this last week I got another royalty-statement from them in the mail. And I must add that this was my first bit of experience with labels and royalties and stuff, and so far so good. 2012/11/28 wojciech <wojtek....@gmail.com> > make that money !!! ;) > > > On Nov 27, 2012, at 17:08, Patrick Wacher <pwac...@gmail.com> wrote: > > GO DERRICK! > > > On Tue, Nov 27, 2012 at 4:39 PM, Sam <samuel.kar...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Way to shoot yourself in the foot Derrick ..ie keep it hush when you rip >> off artists ..that's the best way..maybe something like " I had to sell my >> Ferrari to pay for the cd press and all profits are going to the Red Cross" >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> On 28/11/2012, at 6:28 AM, John Sokolowski <jrsokolow...@hotmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> 'It's a seriously real thing with a fairly decent budget spent on it. >> Every artist got paid in advance.
