Confused about Listing# U141029CO
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2014 7:44 am
It seems to me that this listing requires material with copyrights dating back to the 40s and 50s. Am I reading this correctly?
AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, 1940's-1950's COUNTRY, Hank Williams Style RECORDINGS are needed by a Highly Successful Publisher of Period Music for Film & TV Licensing. Original Songs with Male Vocals and/or Instrumental Tracks are all okay to submit for this opportunity!
The Publisher is particularly interested in pieces that are reflective of the style of Hank's songs with a sparse arrangement found in songs like:
Your Cheatin' Heart
Cold Cold Heart
Quoting the Publisher: "The crucial element here, aside from the year, is the arrangement. If you listen to Hank's recordings, they are pretty minimal in terms of arrangement. No big strings, minimal to no pedal steel, etc."
Remember, the Publisher needs ORIGINAL Songs or Instrumentals, not covers or clones of the Hank songs! Do not copy or rip off the referenced songs in any way, shape, or form.
This company is the hot, go-to publisher for a bunch of extremely popular TV shows and big Feature Films when they need period music. They've been getting so many great placements for our members that we haven't been able to keep up with reporting them all!
Dozens of TAXI members have signed buy out, cash-up-front deals with this company. Some have even received checks for $10,000 (or more!) while still keeping their writer's share and getting performance royalties on the back end! Deal sizes and buyout amounts will vary depending on catalog size and the quality of the songs.
They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They only need AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, 1940's-1950's COUNTRY, Hank Williams Style RECORDINGS that were actually recorded back in the day and have copyright dates that prove it!
This is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to make money with music you might have thought had no hope in today's market. If you've got Demos or Masters, then you could very well have what they need! DO NOT SUBMIT FOR FRIENDS! Your name needs to be on the copyright. Your Songs or Instrumentals need to be Original Compositions (no covers), and you need to own or control the copyright and master recordings to submit for this pitch.
Worried that your old recordings and production might sound dated and NOT contemporary? Worry no more! Even if your recordings were done in an old 8-track or 16-track home studio, they could still be perfect for this company if they sound reasonably good. They DO NOT want slick, modern, ProTools generated recordings. Just because they're looking for vintage music, doesn't mean they're interested in mediocre material! They're looking for the really good stuff! Again... dozens of TAXI members have already made great deals and had some killer placements in big TV Shows and Feature Films through this company. Your deal could vary depending on the number of songs or tracks signed. If you've got some AUTHENTIC, VINTAGE oldies but goodies sitting around, you really need to send them in for this opportunity! You'll love working with this company - they made a lot of TAXI members very happy! Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. Please include lyrics. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than WEDNESDAY, October 29th at 10am (PDT). TAXI #U141029CO
