There's a song I've always wanted to cover, I was wondering if one you guru's could guide me through the process of doing it in a legitimate fashion. Never done a cover before but when the music strikes..

Tons of ways to do this. Lots of the online self distributors offer it as a service. Lots of stand alone sites too.

Harry Fox? Not sure if they operate across the pond or not.
Cheers,

Never done a cover before but when the music strikes.. I don't know this particular site, but I'm guessing what they offer is along the lines of what other similar services offer... www.easysong.com/services/licensing/get-permission/cover-songs/clear-cover-songs.aspxI did a cover of "Love Me Do" (minor key, reggae version naturally) and I know the label paid somebody for the license... it came out to something like $125, which included the mechanical license for 500 CDs and a guess at 1000 downloads. I've tried finding the email with info about the company we went with, but it's not turning up. Anyway, it was a very straightforward process - nothing daunting about it. Good luck! |

So how did it work through easy song for the 500CD/1000 download,....did they provide you with a pdf document license you then had to send to your CD manufacturer and digital download platform site before they would produce or host it? |

Honestly, I don't remember much about it - I had a small UK label handling the particular release with the cover song on it. I found a company online - maybe it was Harry Fox? - to sort out the publishing and sent the info over to the label. Unfortunately, I can't find any of my emails from that particular period, so I can't be of much further help. It was a simple process, though - I do know that much. |

I release through distrokid and I think it’s $15/year for a cover license through them (in addition to the other listing fees etc.).
