the text always starts with the year that the album is being released, followed by the name of the band and the record label who produced the album. this is followed by lines of text that are exactly the same in every copyright statement which warn of things such as replicating and lending the album which is prohibited.
My copyright text:
2015 The Crookes, under exclusive licence to Fueled by Ramen. The copyright in this sound recording is owned by Fueled by Ramen. Unauthorised copying, hiring, lending, reproduction, public performance and broadcasting of the record is prohibited. Made in the Uk.
Another feature that was important to research was the record label that I would use throughout the marketing of my artist. Different record labels are specific to different genres and artists and so I have to choose an appropriate and realistic label and feature them on the copyright text and their logo on the digipak packaging itself.
I looked at some record labels that are connected with British rock bands and found these:
Virgin Records-You Me At Six are signed to this label and so initially I thought they may be suitable for The Crookes, however after some more in depth research, i found that more high profile pop acts typically belong to this label and so i decided it was not suitable for my artist.
Sony Music Entertainment-
a popular record label that many bands are signed to, however, again the acts most commonly associated with the label are pop acts such as Adele, Bruno Mars and Calvin Harris
Fueled By Ramen-
this record label is heavily linked with rock/indie bands, for example Fall Out Boy, Fun. , Panic at the Disco and Twenty One Pilots (duo much like my artist). and so I have chosen Fueled By Ramen as my record label as the bands signed by them make fun and energetic music similar to The Crookes, so i feel this is the most suitable record label to chose.
