"Reading
Chris Standring's step by step guide, "So You
Think You Want A Record Deal", Is
like getting advice from the music biz veteran uncle you
wish you had. He shoots from the hip, with just the right
amount of wisdom, fact and humour. Reading this guide
is like going to rock and roll boot camp! It might scare
you a little, but it will enable you to weed out false
moves and bad judgement calls you might have made had
you not read it and followed Chris's sage advice".

"Chris Standring's book So You Think You Want
a Record Deal made real sense to me on a personal
level. He asks you to ask yourself very personal and deep
questions regarding why exactly you would want to be in
the music business in the first place. Is it ego driven
or the love of the music itself? Personally, Chris's book
helped me sort out some of my own questions about this
business and I would certainly recommend every up and
coming musician sit down and really read this e-book.

The e-book I purchased was very informative and was explained
in laymen's terms. Especially for a new artist trying
to get into the business, just to have information that
explains what to expect from every direction is a step
in the right direction if you ask me. I want to personally
thank you for taking the time to help make dreams come
true. Keep on writing and keep it real for the up and
coming Stars. When I finially make it big I can tell others
the best way to learn the business is from someone in
the business, like you. Thanks a million. Lynett

You nailed the
basics in a quick, easily digestable read and really brought
focus to an area which is not easy for people on the "inside"
to break into...much like radio itself, as you know so
well, so much of radio and records is all about connections,
a great product and targeted marketing....I not only loved
your e book but really found your little "proverbs"
entertaining and funny -

Hi
Chris,
I thoroughly dug your book. I'm a vocal coach and "small
potatoes" singer promoter, and have found your straight-talking
book to be very helpful to my starry-eyed singer students.
Your writing style is great too - an easy and fun read!

"Discover
how to get to know top record company A&R's and get them to sign
you!"
Learn
how to get record labels to pursue you with a few killer tactics!
Are you in a rut in your pursuit
of success in the music business? Are you not moving ahead fast enough?
Are you tired and frustrated because no one will accept your "unsolicited
project"?
Well wouldn't you like to move up and start the music career you were
always meant to have..RIGHT NOW?
Hi My name is Chris Standring, recording artist and founder of A&R
Online. After 20 years as a professional musician, 2 hit records to
my name and several national tours, I want to impart a whole lot of
career ideas that will help get you that break you need in the shortest
possible time...
The truth is, I know exactly what you are going through. Why? because
I have been exactly where you are and the simple truth is I got tired
of it and decided to take total control.
That was back in the early nineties. Since then I have closed three
record deals for myself with absolutely no help whatsoever regarding
introductions to those labels. (I closed the third deal July 2002).
That's right, I found out exactly what label I wanted to sign to,
did a little research on who I should talk to, phoned the company
cold, completely unsolicited, didn't even have a referral, and eventually
closed a deal. I did this three times! I want to show you how
with a little savvy, you can do this too!!
I can also tell you how to get hooked up with the right support team,
namely managers and attorneys as, at the right time, you will certainly
need these guys.
Here's
how to put an end to all those years of rejection!
And start increasing your chances of getting signed Big time!
Do you spend year in year out doing local gigs, making demo after
demo only to find that no music industry person will take the time
out to listen to it? If so, I have great news for you! Read on...
We all know it's a tough business. We always hear; "It gets
harder and harder for new artists to get signed". Here is
a realization. It has always been hard! If it was easy we'd
all be playing at the Universal Amphitheatre in Hollywood!
So where does that leave us?
Well, do you have any idea how many independently financed record
companies exist out there? Literally thousands!! It is not only a
major label world. What is more, these labels are crying out for signable
talent! It is possible to start on your own, get signed to a reputable
indie label, prove yourself in the marketplace and later on get signed
to a major. This is the new course of action. It's a baby step process.
For those looking to be discovered, think again. It's up to you
to make it happen. It's all very possible but knowledge is power!
If you really want to learn, I can show you how. Stay with me...

"Practical,
realistic advice is more of a rarity than you would think.
Chris Standring's "So You Think You Want A Record
Deal" is just that. Ask yourself, do you really
want a deal? If the answer is 'yes,' read every word of
this. When you're done you'll find yourself a step closer
to realizing the dream."

"Every
musician, whether hoping to get signed by a major, large
independent, or just wishes to operate in the business
realm of music much smarter and faster than the competition,
should make Chris' new books their primary "inside"
sources.
And,
artists should do so, if for no other reason than they
are written by an active recording and performing artist,
and not some executive who only writes from theory and
may (or may not even) have ever actively been involved
in the music industry."
