If you think your music fits the Big Rig Records sound and want to go digital contact us!

Here at Big Rig Records we’ve decided that we’re moving away from CD releases and going 100% digital.

We’ve partnered up with US based digital music supplier IODA and can get your music out to over 100 online and mobile providers such as iTunes, Amazon, Audio Lunchbox, emusic, Destra, LastFM, Napster, Puretracks, Strabucks, T-Online and Verizon just to name a few…

We are offering artists the choice of 2 contracts, one a royalty based contract where Big Rig gets a percentage of sales income (for those not sure how many digital sales they might achieve) and a fee based contract with a 14 month royalty free period (for artists who feel that their release will sell like hotcakes and want to get the maximum possible returns).

If you have further questions or are keen to sign up contact us and we’ll talk further.

Here’s a reminder of where your music might go:

After ten years and four full length albums, The Beautiful Few are excited to take the plunge into the digital revolution with their fifth album, DIY Heartbreak (Girlfriends 88-05).

With over 10 million iPods sold and over 300 million songs downloaded from the iTunes music store alone, The Beautiful Few are bridging the digital divide, making their latest release DIY Heartbreak (Girlfriends 88-05) available as a digital-only release.

What are the benefits of a digital release? Distributing music digitally lowers the cost of manufacturing therefore reducing the costs for Big Rig Records. The reduced cost of manufacturing is then passed on to the consumer and also allows the band to get a bigger slice of the royalty pie. In addition there are many benefits for the fans, including the instant gratification of being able to get their music at any time of the day or night wherever they are in the world. Fans can also easily transfer songs to their favourite portable device such as an iPod or mobile phone and even burn them to CD. And don’t forget it’s cheaper than buying a CD in the shops.

What about buying the album at a gig? If you see a show by The Beautiful Few and want to buy the album, you can purchase a download code from the band after the gig, then when you’re next online enter it on the Big Rig Website and you will receive a link to get your album, very much like you purchase a recharge code to get credit for your mobile phone.

What about playing it on a CD player? The digital downloads from the Big Rig records site can be transferred from your computer to any portable device, including being burnt to a CD.

Where is the album available? DIY Heartbreak (Girlfriends 88-05) is available now from most major digital music providers including iTunes Music Store, emusic.com and Audio Lunchbox. In addition it can be purchased directly from the label at www.bigrigrecords.net
