Example)

Whole CD Collection will be in the form of a Series much like
“The Ultra Lounge” Series in the 1990’s.
Our Catalog will be comprised of the COOLEST SONGS OF EACH ERA. (Depending
upon Record Company Greed Factor) Not all will be Radio Hits.

Business and New Artists. Non of it is On the Airwaves. (Therefore
the Audience isn’t Radio Satur-jaded.)

Choices will be determined by the INTERNET and Billboard Hit Album
Sales for the Past 50 Years.And of Course, Harry FOX along with
The Publisher/Artist. These factors will determine our CHOICES
of MATERIAL.

up with. Statutory / Mechanical Rates = 15 Tracks X 8 cents =$1.40
Cents per Copy SOLD.
We
are not interested in all Radio Hits, Which Statistically don’t
have nearly as much emotional effect on People as Favorite Album
Cuts! Chosen by INTERNET Free Music POLLS…The In - Store Rotation

3RD party. (Our Company AND these AMAZING Covers) Secret Selling
