Title: Record Label Pyramid
Post by: PeterParker on February 10, 2009, 10:12:38 PM

I don't know much about record labels, but I was wondering if this guy is correct when he says everyone is under the same umbrella, or should I say pyramid?

This doesn't only apply to record labels, it applies to the whole world - What you think and what it is are 2 totally different things.

No such thing as Black or White, just rich and poor, those that know and those that won't.

good thread.
so one label can´t sign someone without an agreement of another?
