But actually low percentages were the norm; I got 2% for Everyone's Gone To The Moon. Most genuine music artistes are happy just to make and release music and see it break; the greater the greed for cash, the lower the creative juice flow. In my experience. |

It's not much worse than the deals Epstein cut for The Beatles in the early 60s! |

And what about those daft artists letting two 18 year old kids sell their music for 20% of the profits - or is that normal in the cut throat world of muzak? I didn't even get the impression as a record label, that they had financed the recordings either. What was it they were paying for web hosting - £2.59 per month? And what about plugging and promotion? Did they have proper contracts with their artists? But seriously, was all this going to happen from a desk in one of their bedrooms...  |

Hilary is magnificent and talks a lot of sense - you're right; with that smokey, croaky deep voice, she'd sell millions. |

I think Hilary Devey should record an album of her own in time for Christmas - a couple of Lotte Lenya and Johnny Cash songs, a cover of Wandering Star, Bette Davis Eyes and maybe a Gracie Fields medley... it would probably chart in these sad Cowell days! |
