Now for those that are wondering what TuneCore is then read my post “Getting Your Music Released – Tunecore Vs CD Baby”

So what’s this “On Demand” all about then, well to put it simply, TuneCore now has he option to have Amazon.com produce a physical copy of your album when it is needed, so you don’t have to have a mass of CDs produced, when someone orders a physical copy from Amazon.com a CD is manufactured and dispatched, yes it’s that simple.

How much does it cost, well that’s the great thing, just select the option of Amazon on Demand when you select which stores you would like your music delivered to and then just select the type of template you would like for the release, don’t worry your cover art is used for the release, so try to match the template to the colours of your cover art.

Then you have to select your pricing for the On Demand release which you can chose from t lowest value which is $8.98 (you receive $3.59) to the highest value $19.98 (you receive $7.99), then just wait for the release to go live and that’s all there is to it.

I have just used this for the Remergence release of Probably [Single], so hopefully this should be available soon at Amazon.com using the On Demand..

So it’s a case of time will tell to see how this works

I’ve just added a Top Music Picks page to my blog in can be found in the drop down menu in “My Music”

It’s a collection of albums that I really like and would like to share with everyone reading this blog, I will be adding more over time and no doubt over Christmas I will discover a few more to add

But for the time been, please check out the ones I have listed there at the moment, there is a bit of everything for everyone..

Ok, you got it right from the title of the post, I’m going for a bit of self indulgent somewhat shameless promotion today.

Me and JJ have some truly amazing Remergence merchandise on sale and would appreciate anyone wanting some sexy hot T-Shirts etc to check them out on Merchandise Website

Even amazing mousepads with some the amazing artwork from Marc Allsopp who did the art for our latest Remergence album, wicked shoes (yes shoes), we’ve got the lot.. Go on you know you want to   Not got the album then stop by CDBaby and get your copy…

Now I’m not saying I’ve got all my CDs on my new iPod just yet, but I came across some tapes with some amazing album on such as Profiles by Nick Mason, so now I have the challenge of getting the tapes onto my iTunes, ok, so I could get some on CD, but, the Profiles album is not available on CD, I couldn’t find it except on Amazon for nearly £40, honestly £40.

So I have decided to copy the album onto a CD or MniDisc (MD’s are easier to edit) and then just transfer the CD onto iTunes via the computer, I’ve come up on the same problem with some of my old vinyl albums, yes kids many years ago people would put music on a piece of plastic and then put a gold coated diamond needle on it to play music.

The great thing about the vinyl is I can filter out some of the crackle through my PC, so some advantage there, but all this is time consuming, but for those rare (amazing) albums that record companies in their wisdom have decided to delete or not even bother re-releasing on CD, I’m afraid it’s the only way..
