Music Production, Manufacturing and Distribution

Edmondson Communications can assist you in the production and manufacturing of your new album. We have a vast distribution network that can get your product to the retail market with great expediency.

Who does Edmondson Communications distribute to?

Edmondson Communications sells directly to (or has sub-distribution agreements to sell your products to) virtually every record store in America. By letting us know in advance where your record has the best chance of selling, you are helping our sales department concentrate on the cities and markets where your record should be stocked instead of where it has little chance of selling. We also sell direct to a large number of chains.

How does Edmondson Communications notify retail buyers of new releases?

A "one sheet" containing all pertinent information concerning that release is created for each new release. The record label provides this information to Edmondson Communications. Information provided must be current and accurate. The biography section must be filled in with pertinent facts – not hype – about the artist (radio airplay, tour dates, key markets where radio play and/or sales demand is anticipated, collaborations with other hot selling artists, hometown, etc.) Your completed one sheet will be used by our sales staff and the buyers that represent all of the record stores in the country, along with all sub-distributors. It is the repsonsibility of each label to promote their release to independent record companies. Since we only get one chance to sell your new release to retail buyers, it is critical that we have as much information as possible. In order for your record to be assigned a release date (street date) and be included in our new release book for solicitation to the retail buyers, you must comply with our production and marketing calendar.
