A RECORD DEAL MATTERS

by Dwight L. Quinn

Quinn Records TM and other record companies alike,discover, nurture and promote artistic talent. We, the record companies are by far the largest upfront financial investors in artists’ careers. We also bring a huge range of expertise and experience to any campaign to bring a new artist to a broad audience. No other industry player currently offers access to such levels of investment or skills. Behind the breaking of a new artist there are a dynamic combination of creativity, talent, teamwork, strategy, finance and, of course, lots of prayers. Each project requires significant investment in research and development, as well as marketing and promotion. In 2011, record companies were estimated to have invested US$4.5 billion worldwide in artists and repertoire (A&R) combined with marketing. This represented 26 per cent of industry revenues. The four major labels combined had over 5,000 artists on their rosters and tens of thousands more artists are signed to independent labels like ourselves. New talent is the heartbeat of the industry and one in four of these artists (23%) are new signings (signed in the last 12 months). Quinn Record TM and labels alike are able to reinvest the proceeds of successful campaigns in the discovery and nurturing of the next generation of talent. Research study by five independent bodies found 80 per cent of unsigned artists with professional ambitions wanted a recording deal. The top reasons cited as ‘very important’ were marketing and promotional support (71%), TV and radio contacts (58%), the ability to focus on the creative process (50%), tour support (46%) and payment of a financial advance (45%). The findings are supported by countless personal accounts provided by unsigned artists and managers addressing this issue. Without significant investment, industry expertise and creativity (the business) and obviously the artist talent(the music), it is extremely difficult to break an artist or band into popular culture or the mainstream music markets. So where DIY demonstrates the artist ability to approach the industry in the correct manner, there is still no substitute for the experience of the industry to move an artist project forward.” Artists approach labels like Quinn Records TM wanting different types of support. This may be career development, financial support or a team to champion their creations. We want to help, whether it is assisting in the creative process, opening doors for them to work with great producers or supporting them with the right marketing campaign or distribution strategy. At Quinn Records TM we stand on the fact,that a Record deal matters.

WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS AM I REALLY IN ?

                                                                      

by Dwight L. Quinn          

First, I want to began by wishing all of you a very Happy and Safe 4th of July. And despite how bad our Economic condition may seem, we have always managed to overcome adversities and bounce back, that is the American way and we should first above any and  all things be conscious of that fact.
I don't think that there is not a day that goes by that I don't asked the question,What kind of business am I really in? And I asked that question regularly because sometimes you can loose your direction or should I say focus as to what it is that you are doing and where are you going? Well, over the years I finally narrowed that question down to two simple words that I clearly understood and thus the enlightenment put me directly on track and I began to see clearly what kind of  business that I was really in. The business that I'm really in with Quinn records TM is, the listening business. When I first started in this business I  was always  prepared to tell myself and anyone else who asked me, what kind of business am I in, I would be quick to answer by telling them that I was in the music business, or the record business and so on, but I notice that these terms was never clicking, they where empty, to broad, the music business was to generic, what was  really going on here? than it came together it dawn on me, I'm in the listening business.  Now all of my planning and goals are built around that business, the listening business.Now I feel perfectly at ease, my directions are clear and I'm comfortable at being the Clerk behind the counter at the Record Store.
And, that's the feeling that you're  get when you follow Quinn Records TM, we have the ability to let you hear our music first-hand at every opportune time that is made available and at what ever vehicle available to get it out to our fans. We make our music available for you to listen to it at your own convenience 24/7.
We know that it  is unusual for Record Labels to Market like other Industries, but thing changes, those changes can cause you to have change your course in order to continue be able to effectively compete in an ever changing Industry and Market.
Last week we had the good fortune to introduce to you our new CD Single Blues This Morning by James Gilbert (QR 121222-1) that became the top song on the new Blues CD Compilation,GO SLOW-Blues Crossing that was released this Spring.

Blues This Morning is a slow,moody soulful cut written by Eugene Smiley an awesome articulate song writer and composer.Smiley laid down a mixed of styles that you can easily pick on as you listen and involve with this song, for instant the piano part is much a Ray Charles signature, a melody that haunts you, and spells out Little Milton Campbell in all expects, the drive and mood puts you back to top of the sixties when Stax Records began to experiment with Soul and Specialty along with Peacock was putting a New spin on the way Blues licks was being laid down no more twelve bar Blues licks, the search was on for new sounding blues,Soul with deeper into the Church house. Blues This Morning got all of Old Soul flavor put into it. And James Gilbert a young up coming Bluester with powerful vocals is wailing out the sound that he heard from his mentors of the Blues and Soul arena. James has to be given an "E" for excellence for vocal job on Blues This Morning.

DIGITAL STORES BECOMING THE PRIMARY OUTLET FOR BUYING ALBUMS

by Dwight L. Quinn

Last year, 193 million CD's were sold vs. 118 million digital albums, according to Nielsen Soundscan's year-end data report. 
In the album format,digital jumped 6% in 2012, though fans still favor the physical version. 
While album sales at digital services outpaced those at mass merchants, they were far 
exceeded by the combined sales of physical albums at all outlets.

The breakdown in total album sales:

• Digital services such as iTunes and Amazon MP 3: 37%
• Walmart, Target and other mass merchants: 29%
• Best Buy and similar chains: 15%
• Non-traditional outlets such as Amazon physical sales, mail order, venue and fan club sales: 10%
• Indie stores: 7%

CD's, cost more than downloads, have been allocated  far less shelf space at Mass Merchants like Best Buy,Walmart,Target and other chains, fueling digital sale increases.
Digital is consistently growing, and that's to be expected as we get  away from physical 
purchases and get further into streams and music that nobody actually owns.
Its the price of progress.

And yet the LP comeback is flourishing. While only a small piece of the musical pie, vinyl rose 19%, reaching  4.6 million copies in 2012, breaking the 2011 record of 3.9 million.
The wax-is-back, the old way of experiencing music continues to grow every year. 
"A lot of people still want something with value, an element that music have always been able
to give to its users."

DISC SPOTLIGHT- the cd

by Dwight L. Quinn
OLIVER JOHNSON &; NITE TRAIN -Oliver Johnson & Nite Train ( QR 061202-1, 2012)
Lu v n' Thing; Lu v n'Thing,Come Back Baby,Hello Time, Do You Love Me Not, Scheming Me,Lied For The First Time, Drink To Much,If You Repay Evil For Good,Take Me Baby, Drink To Much Instrumental.


It was this time last year, that I first en-lighted on a track from this cd and said at the time; this album is so filled with good dance, story-telling lyrics and strong Ballard that any one track could have been pulled off to go under the spotlight. Although it was intimated that a full look may well follow, such a quick return was not fully on the cards until the tally of individual tracks was pulled together and proved to be something of a " Soul mix, with over 50% going in that direction. Consequently, it seemed fitting  to look at a group for the spotlight and where better..?  'Nite Train' may well be Oliver Johnson, whose name is prominent on the album as lead vocalist and band leader, along side Nephew Davis-bassist, Oswald Peters-lead guitar, Mike Bell-drums,Oliver Johnson-trumpet,keyboard and Dwight Quinn-background vocals. The album was produced and arranged by Dwight L. Quinn.

The proceeding start with"Luv n' Thing', rocking , soulful trot that commonly associated with Soul music, heavy bass licks infusing something of the 'Funk' and indeed, once the song gets under way, the use of Nephews thumping bass licks to support the vibrancy of Oliver Johnson's lead voice invokes a hot soul party. Cloaking-in at under four minutes - the longest track on album is 6:14 - it's over all to soon. 'Come Back Baby ' was originally written for Lil Aaron Mosby who passed away before completing his second album  on  the Quinn Records TM label, is up beat urban blues rocker filled with a crazy piano part that reminiscence of the great-late,Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee Johnny Johnson, a style that has been missing in newer blues music. Oliver Johnson did a magnificent job in laying down the piano part that makes 'Come Back Baby ', sensational. Talking dialog intro by Oliver Johnson, trumpet instrumentation, background vocal is joined by percussion to get,' Hello Time', off the starting blocks. 
Well placed trumpet solo, the insistent rhythm and the rapport between the lead vocalist and background singers makes this irresistible. Although this is a 2009 set, the next two songs were written by Dwight at the start of the decade, in fact there is something in the blues-ballad, 
'Do You Love Me Not', that sounds even earlier - maybe it's the use of the organ. It's a tale of incompatibility in a relationship as the storyteller reflects on the difference in the word...' Some people are made for each other, they stay together- til death do 'em part. See they got love and understanding-they can stop a wind storm before it start. But now me and my baby, our love is like house built up on a rock,-you see everybody scared to move-cause if we do-our house is going drop...'
Mid way of the album Oliver Johnson & Nite Train, and despite its moody sound, under the surface once again the lyrics have their serious side.

Down middle ways of the album, 'Scheming Me', reflects Dwight's time with first relationships that gone bad. Wondering along life way thinking that everything is all well when in fact that it's not. Here again, Oliver lays down what I think is the best trumpet solo part in the whole entire album. You'll probably, like myself while to this track multiple times just to hear this hot trump works. Not quite a complete 'slam-dump' but certainly a few center court free throws, 'Lied For The First Time', is an atmospheric r&b-ballad performed principally as a choral effort and,surprisingly, complemented by a  slow-jam guitar that takes over the song three-quarters through and on to the fade. 'Drink To Much', keeps the tempo up and again Dwight Quinn lyric's have to be commented... 'If You Repay Evil For Good', making the most of Rock music... It's one of those Studio fill jobs, that in this case worked. You can have fun with the track...'Take Me', is a big effort, maybe a little out of place within the whole, as it has a distinctly ' 70' pop flavor and seems undecided whether it should that a" more power to the people pop road. No such problem with the instrumental version soulful,"Drink To Much'.. Once again Oliver Johnson is given full rein to rock his way through the climax and take things out on a higher-playing field.

BIRTHDATES OF SOME FAMOUS TAURUS

by Dwight L. Quinn

As Taurus's have a sense of material values and physical possessions, respect for property and a horror of falling into debt, they will do everything in their power to maintain the security of the status quo and be somewhat hostile to change. Mentally, they are keen-witted and practical more often than intellectual, but apt to become fixed in their opinions through their preference for following accepted and reliable patterns of experience. Their character is generally dependable, steadfast, prudent, just, firm 
and unshaken in the face of difficulties. Their vices arise from their virtues, going to extremes on occasion, such as sometimes being too slavish to the conventions they admire.

SUBMITTING YOUR MUSIC TO QUINN RECORDS TM

by Dwight Quinn, April 26th, 2013

Today the phone calls are a bit different than they were a few minutes back, when a promising artists would call us and ask, if we accepted unsolicited demos, and in our case the answer would always be "yes and then we would proceed on to give the caller instructions as to  how to send us the demo.
But, today the call come in asking us, do we accept unsolicited demos, and our answer is still,yes, but the different in this call is that the promising artist is now asking us can they email us a mp3 or several mp3's of their song or they would ask us to go to their website to both look and listen to their music. That process is good in one way but harmful in the other. Here's what I mean, Quinn Records TM take music very seriously, and we are always releasing new projects and in most cases with new upcoming artists. But in order to do that on a continuous bases, like year end and year out, we must have an inventory of available music. We get that available music from demos being sent in to us and we process those demos into our inventory and add the demo to our Library. Now only the demos the match our style of music gets to go into that inventory. So when each release quarter  rolls around we don't have to run around looking for new music, we already have it,and ready to go. Call it old school,but we call it resourcefulness. It's clear that technology is great for getting thing their fast,and being accessible, but that human thing that makes us different is utilizing time,each Thursday for many,many minutes we have set aside four hours( 10:00 am til 2:00 p.m) dedicated to listening to the demos that came in that week and when we hear one that meets our standards than we grab it up,process into our Library and contact the Artist with our decision, we don't mess around. We are serious, and we know that the next big act is out there somewhere and we want it. Now the guy that calls in and wants us to stop and go to there website or send us an mp3 along with the 6000 emails that we get everyday, we can't process them in that way. Email gets deleted, computers crashes and gets attacked by viruses, that's not good for neither one of us. Our physical Library don't have those kind of crises or threats, so the artists Demo is always available to us to be used in a Quinn's project.  Our newest Artist to the Quinn Records TM family of Recording Artists, James Gilbert, It's A Real Good Sign, was selected from our Library of Demos and he's doing well, but if it wasn't for our Library of Demos,he would have been over looked. So we have a Demo Policy that is good for both parties, a Demo is a File and that's the way we treat it. And that's the place where we go to four times a year when it's time to get ready for us to release a new project. So I hope that this shaded a little light on submitting your music to Quinn Records TM. Keep your Demos coming in.
