MattyIceyo Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hello, Am curious what the hassle is when it comes to: Trying to license a record Cost If 2 labels had put out the same record who owns it Is there a cost to license based upon how many units you plan on pressing I am sure there is more but this is the basics. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Unless you're the band or working with the band don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Every single one of your questions greatly varies depending on the release/situation. In my situation, there was no additional licensing costs. I was friends with the band, who put me in touch with the label who did CD and Digital for the release (it was over a decade ago). I gave the label, who owned the rights, 10% of the press for free, and the band another 10% for free. I would contact the band. If they even want their shit rereleased, and they do own the rights, maybe you can strike a deal. Or they can probably direct you to whoever does own them. Good luck! nickj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to reach out to the band or members or something and go from there. I tried to email the label and i got a bounce back so the email didn't even exist anymore so that was cool. Thank you again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
