Let's see. I own an independent record label, called Act 2 Records. We're really a great label, with great music. Unfortunately, it's not the best time to be in the Music Business. When your product that you slaved over, is priced less than a can of soda, you know you got problems. I know, it wasn't fair to pay $16 for an album that only had one good song on it. I get it, unfortunately I wasn't a part of the greed from the Major Labels and Distributors.
But, I'm still proud of the music we've produced, and hope people can enjoy it from our new music store, located at: Act 2 Records Online
Just a little shameless promotion here. I'm hoping to make most of the music available for free. Right now singles are priced at .85 cents and albums at $5.95. Obviously we don't make any money on the singles, (believe it or not the breakeven price in the industry is around $1.40 when you include promotion (which is everything)). Not sure about the punctution there. At any rate, if you download an album with 16 songs it's only .37 cents a song. But I'm not counting on that. Like I said, I'm trying to get to the point where I can provide most of our music at not charge.
Currently there's about 10-12 free downloads available. Totally legal, no mp3 protection encoding, and no membership required. The only thing I would ask, is if you're satisfied, to click on one of the ad sponsors, that should buy me a cup of coffee, and would be much appreciated.
I hope I didn't bore you too much.
In the future, I think I'll post some dirty little secrets about the music business (if you can call it that)
In the meantime, I hope everyone's having a great holiday season, and if you get a chance, download some of our freebies.
All the best,
RAH (those are my initials)
