[Dixielandjazz] Buddy Burns "French Quarter Jazz" Re-Release January 2016

[John Burns]

To All The Dixieland Jazz Lovers,

We are Re-Releasing "French Quarter Jazz Buddy Burns' New Orleans Creole
Gumbo Zave"
The original Album had ten Tracks, but Buddy had two tracks of
"Indiana", one with vocals and the other without the vocals titled, Back
Home In Indiana, which we added.

In 1978 there were no CD's and by 1995 Buddy said he always wanted to
keep the "Dixieland Music Alive" and gave me the Masters and asked if I
would some day keep it updated, so people could enjoy Dixieland.  

In 2014 we had Dr. Toby Mountain, of Toby Mountain's Northeastern
Digital Re-Master the 11 Tracks. After the Mastering was done we had
CD's and Vinyl produced. We learned a lot throughout this process, not
without some pain, but we got through it.
We do thank Graphics Designer, Jim Rasfeld of Rainbo Records for
reproducing the original Album Cover into a CD Package our grandfather
would be proud of.

For any artist out there looking to produce your own music, or reproduce
music already written, we give you these notes to reduce the pain in
creating, or recreating music.

1. Mastering - If you record your own sessions and want to have it
Mastered, check with someone like Toby Mountain at Northeastern Digital
for a quote and then check other sources to see the savings. Mastering
should be done for quality music in CD's, Vinyl and Online exposure.

2. Intellectual Property Rights - Before you try to produce or reproduce
music to CD's, Vinyl or Digital, seriously consider who wrote the songs
and pay the "Mechanical License Fees". You can check the Harry Fox
Agency, or other online agencies who collect these fees for their
clients, the writers. The fees run about $0.091 per Song. If you do 5
songs and want 500 CD's, thats 5x500x0.091= $227.50, just for the
Mechanical License, or Royalty Fees. It's illegal to reproduce the songs
on CD or Vinyl without proof you paid the Royalty Fees. The Record or CD
producer will require you to fill out an Intellectual Property Rights
(IPR) Form and request proof you paid the fees.

3. Graphics Production, try to have your Graphics ready for your CD or
Album Cover, if not the producers will have you work with the Graphics
Department. Costs is like buying a fast car, "Speed Cost Money, How Fast
Do You Wan To Go", The actual cost for low budget graphics is not that
bad and with today's technology the quality is pretty good.

4. Bar Codes & ISRC Codes - You can purchase your own Bar Codes and ISRC
Codes, or you can pay someone to do it for you. Most record producers
will provide a Bar Code for the CD and Vinyl. We Purchased Bar Codes and
ISRC Codes online. The ISRC Codes are assigned to each Song or Track,
The CD and Vinyl Bar Codes are one for the CD and a different one for
the Vinyl. We also purchased EAN Bar Codes for European and Japan sales.
UPC Barcodes are for USA and EAN Barcodes for International Sales.

5. CD Production - CD Production is pretty fast, a 1000 CD's with
printed covers can be ready in as little as two weeks. "Caution", when
you order CD's, be sure to request a "Test Press" to check the quality
of the music and the "Text Data". Nothing like 500 CD's with a skip and
wrong Text Info. You want to catch mistakes before you produce. CD
Production Costs vary according to what you are doing, you have
graphics, CD's, CD Art, Shrink Wrapping and shipping costs, if your
producer isn't local, shipping can be expensive.

6. Vinyl - Be really careful when ordering Vinyl and never be in a rush.
It cost us $65.00 for four Test press Vinyl and we caught several
errors, which were verified by our third party and the producers
engineers. Vinyl takes about 4 Months and when there is a problem, add
four more months. It's a very time consuming process, but when the press
is set up, they like to rush you, but take your time and make sure your
music is what you want. So don't be cheap, purchase the "Test Presses"
and listen to each track on each vinyl, you will not regret it, in my
opinion.

7. Receiving Merchandise - Always double check various CD's and Vinyl
from different boxes and double check your graphics.

8. Let your listeners enjoy your music

The "French Quarter Jazz Buddy Burns' New Orleans Creole Gumbo Zave",
was sent for release and should be out this month, we had set a goal to
have it out for the New Orleans Mardi Gras 2016.

We hope you enjoy this great Dixieland Jazz Music
