So, as I was saying… there was this guy talking about this new retail theory and how it impacts on the marketing of music in the 21st century. He was banging on about the interweb and downloads so I thought we should harness the new tricknology and do something real positive with it.
It’s time we came up with a more sensible way for Artists to make money – what with this new fangled multi media world imposing a new world order. I figure we should find our rightful place in the pecking order and find a way to get our creations to the consumer hungry public.
So we came up with the Long Tale concept. A label, marketing device which would enable credible Artists to get their work to people who really appreciate what they are doing. It would also help make sure that the cash that the consumer pays finds its way to the Artists who created the work. Rock on Long Tale!
