As with our publishing side, it is always
important to have as many people working on your product as possible, and we can send
copies of your material to our contacts in record companies outside the UK to see if they
are interested in acquiring the rights in your master recordings for their territory.
Most overseas companies watch our charts and
airplay guides and with medium success in the UK, it should not be too difficult to
persuade overseas representatives to release your music. When they do, more often than
not, they will offer an advance payment against a royalty, based on a percentage of their
local record sales. Naturally a contract is exchanged, and we are happy to negotiate, draw
up or vet any legal agreement on your behalf, though it is not compulsory for us to do so.
You may wish your own solicitor to take care
of any arrangements of this nature, and for us to merely investigate any interest from
third parties. We are happy to fall in line with any arrangements you may wish to make.
