Major vs. Independent Record Labels
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 9 page paper weighing whether to sign with a major record label or an independent one. When opportunities to record with any label – as opposed to self-recording and self-promoting recordings – arise, artists must decide which path can benefit them most. Reaching this decision requires attention to several factors, not the least of which is the artist’s ultimate goal. Is it to be widely known as a result of having several hits that gain significant radio airplay and sell many copies of recordings? If so, then the major label likely will be better suited to the artist. If the artist’s ultimate goal is merely to further the type of music to which s/he is dedicated and can do so without preconceived ideas of the financial rewards that may result, then the independent label may be the best choice. Further, there are control issues to consider as well. Includes a letter of transmittal and an executive summary. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
