Here’s a story ‘ bout a man named Brady
who even had products by one, Jeff Stice.
You could own so many products if you would pay the price.

Till the one day when the site became successful
And they knew it was much more than dumb luck
That this group would somehow find some bargains
That’s the way we all did save ourselves some bucks.
24.com, 24.com,

That’s the way we all found 24.com.

New Day was in business in 1981, or 6 years before Daywind Music Group was formed. If my information is correct, the first Daywind soundtracks came out in 1985, but the record label wasn't started until '87 or '88. Back to the thread - Spring Hill seemed to be going in the direction of PW music for a while there, but several of the projects bombed, especially the "Echoes around the World" series. I think the Carl Cartee project was one of the better ones they did - hope he finds a good label home - though more and more artists are finding the independent route can be pretty profitable, at least in the short run. Any word on where any of the bigwigs from Spring Hill will end up? I’m pretty sure Charles has the egg before the chicken or the cart before the horse.

DM- wonder how much a copy those returned CD's would sell for - $2 each? I think most Daywind artists pay $5 per copy, don't they? Whattya think? Yes JP, it was some of my photography on Fox.

They can send the product out, but that does not mean anyone will buy the product. Sometimes you think that it multplied out there. Not one, but many skids.

Being on the Daywind label doesn't guarantee distribution by Word, but signing to Canaan would guarantee distribution by Word. My line of reasoning is that they need a label that has a foot in each market. Curb seems like the perfect fit to me. JP got it right.

( They also distribute Word products & Crossroads products & several other companies products as a onestop for stores.) 95% of all product we sell at www.musicstore24.com we can get through New Day. They are a class act and do a great job. (Now watch my order today get messed up now that I said that!

Duane Allen mentioned that all of their contractual obligations to Spring Hill have been met up to this point, so they are not required to stay there. However, he indicates that the new staff coming in has them as a priority, and perhaps they plan on rebuilding the label with them as their flagship artist. In the event that the Oaks and Spring Hill part ways, Duane also mentioned that there are four or five other labels that are willing to sign them (although, he understandably didn't name them). Spring Hill is distributed by Word, so moving to another Word label would make sense (with Canaan, for example), but I'm sure that if given the opportunity, they'd take a major country label if they could get it over a smaller gospel label.

If they do end up leaving Spring Hill, my vote goes to Curb. Canaan might possibly be a great fit, but we really don't know what Canaan is capable of doing yet. Curb, on the other hand, has a tremendous track record with a roster ranging from Leann Rimes to Selah. It's a huge roster, to be sure, but nearly every name is one you will recognize if you've followed Country and Gospel music. Signing with a label like Curb would be the ideal deal for the Oaks. Of course, being the only fish for Spring Hill to push might be even better...sort of like _Jerry Maguire_. Can't you just see Joe Bonsall jumping up and down yelling "Show me the money?" :o) The key will be a label with great distribution to both mainstream and CBA, plus they’ll need enough money to pay Michael Sykes to keep doing what he’s been doing for the Oaks.
