Signed album: 4 months from forward to final delivery of tracks

Back on February 29 (Leap Day!) I got a couple tracks forwarded for a "hip hop with horn blasts" listing. Here's my forum post from that day.

On March 20, I received an email from the listing company saying they'd like to sign those two tracks, and would like me to supply a 10 track album.

During the month of April, I finished all 10 tracks and sent them in for review.

On May 22, the company said they'd reviewed all the tracks and would like to sign all 10 pieces.

I just delivered the final files & stems this morning, June 28.

So, from forward to completed signed project, over a span of 4 months. Not exceptionally fast, but definitely not slow either. Granted, I could have been quicker on file delivery, but I had a lot going on between May 22 and today (not the least of all: I got married!!!!). But still, this ought to give some newbies another real-world example of the time frame it took for something to go "all the way" when a company reaches out after a forward.

I know that company well (I too have stuff with them and actually I got that brief driectly :) ), my experience with them is that they are usually quite fast, so if you did not have to focus on getting married (congrats again!), it would have taken at least a month less for your album to be released :)

And I NEVER get tired of listening to the great trumpet tracks you contributed to some Funsongs Music projects;
one in particular which remains very special to our family. I'm forever grateful.
God bless you & yours today.
Peter - by the sea! :D
