the cost to release a superstar album – repost
this is an interesting/odd read. not sure how much i believe it given the state of the industry these days but the comments are worth reading. it actually sounds exactly like a deal for a baby band circa 1994-96. be curious to hear from any musicians as to what they think of this. not only is it incredibly difficult just to get a deal with a major these days, to have a budget like this is even more rare. deals aren’t being handed out like they once were…let alone “superstar” deals — thus the article is almost pointless in its scope.
Reminded me of this (be sure to scroll down halfway):
