to the online home of Perseverance Records, the label that's focusing on the artist.
Kickboxer arrived today from our distributor, and I am very happy with it. The only thing is that they goofed on the CD label. It's all white instead of all silver. Oh well, maybe this will become a collector's item soon, as well. The next pressings will definitely be silver. The first orders have already shipped.
We had the chance to revisit the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Kickboxer and jumped at it. Digitally remastered, it features 11 additional tracks, including the original end titles song, the beautiful ballad "Love is the Way". Limited to 3,000 units.
The latest release in our composer distribution series is Don Peake's wonderful score to Frankie and Johnny Are Married. Limited quantities remain.
The first volumes of both Michael Picton's Flash Gordon and Don Peake's Knight Rider have been so successful that we don't want you to have to wait any longer for more of them. The second albums are out now.
Wes Craven's 1977 horror classic "The Hills Have Eyes" has one of the eeriest and freakiest scores I have ever heard. It's now out in our composer distribution series.
We, at Perseverance, love film music. With that said, we have started a new division: Perseverance Distribution. Some might ask what this means. Well, here's a quick answer on what our service offers.
We run into situations where a composer or a small artist-run boutique label wants to be distributed nationwide. They do not want to do a licensing deal, where they might be paid 15-18% royalties, but are too small to get a national distribution deal and/ or CDBaby takes too much money. What we offer is access to our international distribution chain for any artist/label that needs more than the traditional website/Amazon only CD sales model.
The concept is simple. The artist is in full control. It's their music, their deal, their decisions. For a small fee, we work with them to make sure their music is available worldwide in Amazon, AEC and many other physical/ online stores. This affords the artist/ label the chance to get out to as many potential fans as possible.
The first of these titles is the just announced Knight Rider. While we do have this title in our system, it is not a Persey release, but rather one from Hitchcock Media that we got the rights to through a very generous deal with Universal.
The titles distributed by us are not designed, mastered or produced by us, so everything looks the same from the original release. We put our barcode on it due to a requirement from our distributor, but that's it.
We are happy to provide the opportunity for artists to make more money from their music.
Yes, we are now the only label with the honor of having both Knightriders and Knight Rider in our catalog! It will be a little while before this album shows up in stores, so get your copy now.
And, no, we don't have one copy, just for you. So please don't ask.
I just picked up the CDs from the plant and listened to the album on the way home; and... it rocks!
