Gigbeth Launch CD
Gigbeth is coming… but did you know that there will be a special London Launch in June?!
We have teamed up with Gotham Records to compile the Official Launch CD.
The CD will feature key artists from the West Midlands, to promote the thriving West Midlands music scene. As the Launch will be strictly guestlist only, the CD will be given to some of the most influential people from national music companies and press.
This is your chance to shine in London…!
Entry onto the CD is free, but there are limited places.
If you would like to be included on the CD, then please send:
A mastered copy of your track
Completed label copy form (as attached)
Band/Artist biog
Full set of lyrics
To: The Gigbeth CD, Gotham Records, PO Box 6003, Birmingham, B45 0AR.
Deadline: MONDAY 7th May 2007.

The CD is a promotional tool for the London Launch. It will be included in the VIP gift packs that will be going to music industry execs and national press. The purpose of it is to highlight the good talent in Birmingham, rather than show who is playing at Gigbeth.
I hope this helps,
Tara

the truth.......yes you can go on the promtional cd but what they do is get you to sign an agreement that allows them to use your track on any other promotional item forever and without need of anymore of your consent. they get you in on the basis of free promotion but the agreement essentially gives them the right to use your track on anything now or in the future. I don't care much as i don't think it matters as long as they can't make money but you(the artist) have to decide whether you want your material exploited and promoted by a bunch of jokers to save their ass etc
i haven't pursued it as its more trouble to deal with but if you would like to do it then of course I will make it happen as effectively as possible.
sorry to be such an enthusiast but you lot are doing so well i have tried to avoid anything with LSC or barry tomes involved!
cheers

DA Recordings wants your Business, They won an award for innovation you know
The classic definitions of innovation include:
1. the process of making improvements by introducing something new
2. the act of introducing something new: something newly introduced (The American Heritage Dictionary).
3. the process of translating new ideas into tangible societal impact (Krisztina Holly, Vice Provost, University of Southern California, and Executive Director of USC Stevens Institute for Innovation)
4. the introduction of something new. (Merriam-Webster Online)
5. a new idea, method or device. (Merriam-Webster Online)
6. the successful exploitation of new ideas (Department of Trade and Industry, UK).
7. change that creates a new dimension of performance Peter Drucker (Hesselbein, 2002)
8. A creative idea that is realized [(Frans Johansson)] (Harvard Business School Press, 2004)
9. "The capability of continuously realizing a desired future state" ([John Kao, The Innovation Manifesto, 2005])
10. "The staging of value and/or the conservation of value." (Daniel Montano 2006.)[1]
In economics, business and government policy,- something new - must be substantially different, not an insignificant change. In economics the change must increase value, customer value, or producer value. Innovations are intended to make someone better off, and the succession of many innovations grows the whole economy.
The term innovation may refer to both radical and incremental changes to products, processes or services. The often unspoken goal of innovation is to solve a problem. Innovation is an important topic in the study of economics, business, technology, sociology, and engineering. Since innovation is also considered a major driver of the economy, the factors that lead to innovation are also considered to be critical to policy makers.
In the organisational context, innovation may be linked to performance and growth through improvements in efficiency, productivity, quality, competitive positioning, market share, etc. All organisations can innovate, including for example hospitals, universities, and local governments.
While innovation typically adds value, innovation may also have a negative or destructive effect as new developments clear away or change old organisational forms and practices. Organisations that do not innovate effectively may be destroyed by those that do. Hence innovation typically involves risk. A key challenge in innovation is maintaining a balance between process and product innovations where process innovations tend to involve a business model which may develop shareholder satisfaction through improved efficiencies while product innovations develop customer support however at the risk of costly R&D that can erode shareholder returns.
Four commonly accepted types of innovation are Product, Process, Position and Paradigm (Tidd, Bessant and Pavitt, 2005)

Hello Mark
Becky said she had asked you to her party last weekend at the Sunflower, it's a shame you weren't there as I came up to Brum for the weekend and it was a great night.
Hows the label going? Have you released anything recently? Hows your band going?
