The Music Area (TMA-1 @ http://www.apcg.demon.co.uk) is proud to announce that the brand new Turntable website will go live at Midnight Sunday/Monday this weekend. Read on to see what this unique site can do for you... Ths basic principal of TURNTABLE is very simple. We put your demo directly in the hands of the people that count, the A&R staff, the Presidents of Record Companies, the Diretors of Film companies. Currently our database has details of over 1500 companies in this field and we directly contact as many as it is humanly possible to do so each month to bring our members the HOTTEST music listings anywhere. Obviously some of them are not looking for anything in particular at the present so don't expect to see thousands of adverts, it just doesn't work like that. We have to be sure that there is a definite need for your material from the company concerned before we place an advert. After all, we have our members best interests at heart, and if we didn't provide a superb service then our members would soon lose interest. So we have to be sure of getting it right the first and only time. Once you become a member of TURNTABLE, you will receive the TURNTABLE DEMO GUIDE, which is written by industry experts who know how to package a demo and a band or singer. Also you will receive a set of SUBMISSION forms to use when you send in your demos, an UNIQUE MEMBER NUMBER which MUST be quoted on all correspondence or submissions and your first set of Music Industry Listings, HOT off the press. These are the most up to date listings available. You can start sending in your demos straight away if you like. Once you see a listing that seems right for your music, fill in the submissions form and post it with any other information you may have to us. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE DEMO GUIDE TO OBTAIN THE MAXIMUM EFFECT. When we receive it, we will pass it on to one of our own A&R staff, all of which have either worked or are still working in the industry for screening. The screening process involves listening to your demo through a variety of media. E.G. Headphones, car stereos, home stereos and even very cheap portable stereos, to get the fullest effect that your music can possibly get. Remember, we don't personally know you so we can give a critical feedback on this material. Our screeners will then write a report on your demo and award it a points score. If the score matches the required standard set, the demo and our report will be forwarded on to the person who requested it as SOLICITED material, and you will be notified by post to who it was sent with full contact details. If it doesn't reach the standard set then we will return your demo to you along with the report. This feedback is worth its weight in gold anyway and would probably cost you a fortune to get an independent reviewer to do. You can submit the same material again and again, just because it doesn't meet the standards for one advert doesn't mean it won't meet another adverts standards!!! You can submit as much material as you like in your membership year. As a TURNTABLE member you can submit any material you have written on co-written. If you are enquiring on behalf of a band, email us with your postal address so we can send you the paperwork for membership. This applies also to any Management/studio/production companies enquiring on behalf of their artists. Lets recap: As a TURNTABLE member, you get each month by post the HOTTEST music listings anywhere. You can as a member submit any amount of demos at any time for any advert currently available. We will GUARANTEE your demo will be thouroughly listened to IN FULL, not just 20 seconds of the first track. We will GUARANTEE either to forward your demo to the record company or return it to you with a full report on how it can be improved and why it was not successful this time. We will GUARANTEE that if your demo is forwarded on to a company, we will let you know the full details by post as soon as possible. Membership of TURNTABLE costs just �50 per year and your membership fees are GUARANTEED to be held for three consecutive years from the date you joined provided there has been no break in your membership. A demo forwarding fee of �5 is payable for each and every demo that you submit We also GUARANTEE that any personal details of our members will NOT be given to any other company whatsoever without your express written permission. We too get bombarded with junk mail and we don't want our members to get any via TURNTABLE. Once we have your details, they remain confidential. So we hope you are a lot clearer now as to what TURNTABLE can do for you. What are you waiting for? Join the winners now!
