cant say i agree with that, i understand labels get demos everyday and i get ur point, but i really think that alot of labels (especially those with label bosses who really want fresh talent) prefer as many tracks on the CD as possible. I know from personal experience when sending demo's out that when i get replys the labels have been thankful that ive sent so much stuff to them, and altho ive yet to have a release ive got a few things in teh pipeline and its 99% il have my first record out this year.
at the end of the day its up to the artist really how many u wanna put on it, but whats the point in only sending 3 or 4 tracks when u might have 6, 7, 8 really rocking tunes? theres no point spreading em out over a few CDs, just whack em all on one and get that baby sent off!
and might i add, if a label is cheeky enough to simply discard a demo because it has more than 3 or 4 tracks on it, then imo that doesnt sound like the sorta label id want to work with!
