Now Accepting Submissions for upcoming
"Worldwide Various Artists Compilation
Releases"
Country Music (Modern and Traditional)
Country Gospel (Modern and Traditional)
Nuts and Bolts. Getting your songs played on
the radio worldwide is a task for seasoned
professionals in this industry who love this
business, know this business and have worked
hard to earn their reputations as companies
that DJs take notice of - so, we'll take
care of the hardest part. All you need to do
is submit your best work(s) and if it(they)
is(are) selected for inclusion, that's when
we take the next steps to getting your music
heard! So, what happens after you submit
your music? Curtis Andrews will listen to
your submission(s) in the genres of "Country
Music" or "Country Gospel Music" and you are
notified within 30 days if your track(s)
have been selected for inclusion on upcoming
worldwide Ready Records releases. If Mr.
Andrews finds that more than 22 works
qualify for inclusion, the remaining
qualifying submissions will automatically be
considered for the subsequent release. After
he narrows it down to the 'best,' he then
narrows it down to the 'best of the best'
1.) Mr. Andrews looks for clean music tracks
with clear vocals.
2.) He looks for a 'good' sound and feel of
the track.
3.) Originality is always a plus.
4.) When a submitted track is chosen for
inclusion and the Recording Artist agrees to
release the song, the Recording Artist will
submit the inclusion promotional fee of $200
which includes distribution to over 600
radio stations worldwide (300 Country
Stations / 300 Gospel Stations). The value
of this service far exceeds the fee and the
value of the relationship Ready Records has
established with DJs worldwide for over 20
years has far more value than the average
aspiring Recording Artist can afford. It is
obvious that Mr. Andrews is not getting rich
off of aspiring Recording Artists, his
greatest profit comes from the satisfaction
of helping others. He devotes a great deal
of time and heart to this process and is
content with primarily covering his costs.
It remains that "You" just want to get your
music on a lot of radio stations and the
bottom-line benefits to the Recording
Artist, as we covered earlier, are that
Ready Records Various Artists Compilations
are recognized by the DJs worldwide as
quality productions and having excellent
appeal in their corresponding markets,
therefore, getting "Your" music played!

Terms Of Inclusion: If your song(s) qualify
for inclusion on the next upcoming Ready
Records release, you will be contacted.
Compilation fees for inclusion on the
upcoming release are paid after the artist
is contacted and the artist
places the final order for inclusion. Songs
that are selected for inclusion will be
included on the final master compilation
release when the minimal inclusion fee is
submitted. Inclusion fee is due at time of
compilation mastering. The modest
inclusion fee of only $200 includes
inclusion in the next subsequent Ready
Records Compilation CD to over 600 Radio
Stations Worldwide (300 Country Radio
Stations / 300 Gospel Radio Stations).
This compilation provides quality exposure
and will put your music in front of and in
the ears of over 600 DJs around the globe
and their listeners. Compilation space is
very limited, an average of 22 tracks per
release is available. One track per artist
on each compilation release. Ready Records
artists who have appeared on prior releases
may be considered for two tracks on any
given compilation if the artist requests
this consideration (due to high demand and
minimal space available per compilation
there is no guarantee any artist may have
two tracks on one release).
As you can see, the fee is minimal and set
at an affordable price point which allows
Curtis Andrews to do his job thoroughly and
allows aspiring recording artists the
valuable actual exposure they deserve.
Please feel free to contact us with any
questions:

Warning to aspiring recording artists:
Beware of the term "contract" - that is
usually the bright red flag that tells you
something is wrong. If a company wants a
percentage of your earnings, they must prove
their ability to promote you effectively and
be able to prove they have the clout and
investment capital (usually millions of
dollars) in order to get you "famous." If
they don't measure up, they don't deserve a
contract from you. If you sign, then you
have signed your rights away in a split
second and they will then have the right to
take your money, whether or not they fulfill
all of their "promises." A more obvious red
flag is you have a "contract" and you
"still" have to spend "your own money" in
order to promote yourself - the truth is,
you can do that on your own and have full
control of your money.
You should know that, when your music is
submitted to radio stations, independent DJs
worldwide 'personally' select the music they
spin. This means that DJs, most of which are
very busy, primarily listen to and consider
submissions by reputable record labels who
have an established track record with them
and are respected by the DJs worldwide. The
amount of compilations they send out is
irrelevant because your music must be
'heard' not merely sent out! Some new
companies claim to be "major record labels"
(implying they are of the Columbia, Sony
caliber), yet they have no concrete
experience in the music industry, no
established contacts or presence and can
only 'at best' exhaustively pound the
pavement in the hope of getting their
artists on the air on, likely, a handful of
stations. They may show impressive
mailing lists (which anyone can buy) and
'claim' to have these as contacts. These
bottom-feeders prey off of aspiring
recording artists with stars in their eyes
and hopes for stardom convincing them to
invest countless dollars for pointless
travel and events. Unfortunately, new
artists fall prey to these companies and all
too often realize they are being bamboozled
after the damage is done. The artist ends up
with no valid exposure or recognition this
way. In fact, just being associated with a
record label that has underhanded practices
can affect the credibility of a recording
artist in this industry. Bad news travels
fast! Bombarding message boards and pounding
on the chest is no substitute for true
results.
In fairness, there are also many good record
companies - however, on the flip-side, there
are also no guarantees in this industry. One
thing we can count on is that, if a DJ
receives a CD from a record label that has
made a bad reputation for themselves, it's
common sense what happens to that CD.
A Recording Artist's best bet is to
associate with a company that is established
and is capable of getting the artist passed
those mysterious closed doors.
The Right Place is Ready Records, because
Ready Records has a tremendous respect for
the industry and its DJs. Ready Records has
always conducted itself in a manner
consistent with these values. Ready Records
also has a
tremendous respect for Recording Artists.
The industry has recognized Ready Records'
dedication to quality releases for their
artists and has responded by supporting
Ready Records' accomplishments of
establishing the higher standard in this
business to be emulated. A record Label that
is 'out there' and doing good business will
receive recognition from sources outside of
itself - this means acknowledgement from
entities that have no connection to the
label itself and, therefore, are legitimate
kudos. Serious Recording Artists who want
blanket worldwide exposure of their talent
on the radio need to connect with a record
label with the caliber of Ready Records. You
need a record label who can give you actual
radio play exposure to hundreds of radio
stations not just by simply sending your
material to DJs, but actually having the
preceding reputation that will get your
music on their radio station and heard!
That's where Ready Records shines and stands
apart from the rest!
Much respect to all Recording Artists
in this wonderful world of music!
Best of luck to all of you!
Ready Records
"On The Move!"
