Sony BMG UK to Abandon CD Demos; Bands Can Upload Songs, Blogs

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 30, 2007 - 2:25pm.

London - Major record label SonyBMG's U.K. unit has announced that it will no longer accept demo submissions via physical CDs, instead directing bands hoping to land a record deal to websites where they can upload music, video and photos, Reuters reported.

Two websites will allow artists to create blogs where they can post their songs and other media for consideration by the label: ColumbiaDemos.co.uk and RCADemos.co.uk.

"100,000 new blogs go online each day at the moment, and the blogosphere is doubling every 230 days so it makes complete sense for the major labels to use the process in a creative way to encourage, discover and communicate with new artists," Ged Doherty, chairman and CEO of Sony BMG UK and Ireland Music Entertainment, told Reuters.

It is 40 years since our song All the love in the world was in the charts.We have re,recorded a new version in a heavy mode .The early version was on the pye label and is on a album released by sanctuary records called LOOKING BACK.If we sent you a copy of the heavy version will you consider releasing it as a single as it will be going on our next album.The band are still together with two of the origional members,Robert leggat and geof Simpson although we play prog classic rock now.we also have a album called REBIRTH which was released in the USA on the 10th of march A song off REBIRTH is on trsnsworld skatebording DVD called AND NOW with David Gravette and showing al lot of interest with American teens.Look forward to your reply.CONSORTIUM
