Promos
when you make a Promo do you have to have to be signed to a label? cos I wanted to make a Promo from a song but I don't have a label, so I could just sell it to afew people, & then make a singel from that song & then release a full length album with that song on it
so what I'm asking, is that do you have to have a record deal to make an Promo, & if you don't, will they put it on your Promo when you get it & then sell it to stores?
& what is the diffrence between a Promo & a Singel? I know they can't be the same cos on the inside of my singles or promos they say what it is (its the same lable & artist, Sarah McLachlan), & I know Promos can't be pre-record deals cos there are promos for songs made in the middle of a career
thanks

It's a demo, not promo. A demo is what record label executives usse to see if you are the band/singer that they are looking for to represent. A single is one song off of your albom that lets the general public hear you, your sound, and hopefully buy the album. If you don't use a record label from the start, they most likely will not hire you, so do it with a record label all the way!
Let me know how it goes, seriously.

I've always thought promos where tracks a person/band recorded with the intend of sending them to music lables, hoping the lables would like your stuff and sign and contract with you.
But then why would you have any? I guess the term might also cover free singles handed out to the public as promotion?
You have every right to make a promo/single/full album etc. yourself with out a record lable. You'd probably have a hard time getting stores to sell it without the help of a company though.
But I'd say, go ahead and make it and sell to yourself. It's a good start, right?

basicaly the only thing that you need to have is a copyright which tells every one that the work belongs to you and no one is alowed to copy it. contact the federal copyright office to find out pricings on such things.
you dont need any ones help to market your items, artists sign with labels becouse the labels have money for large ammounts and destribution of the material.
just make sure that when you sell the item its in proper package with like warnings or what ever if you wona go big. otherwise just copyright it and if you want to sell it to people you know just do so becouse you are selling your own work.
