This also applies to hard copy.

In fact we can guarantee that the majority won’t be! Everything will be listened to but as this site is a labour of love rather than a huge moneyspinner there just isn’t the staff time! We can give no timescale for the review being published and in most cases won’t be able to notify the artist. It’s just a question of checking regularly, if you have the patience! If you look at some of the reviews in glossy magazines it’s not that unusual for a review to appear many months or even a year after release.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Again, due to financial and staff constraints there is not the time or finances to return any discs to the sender.

                                                                                                                                                                                      We will also assume on receipt of recordings that permission is given for a maximum of two tracks to be added to the site music pages, but don’t panic, they are not downloadable! There is also, evidence to suggest that tracks appearing in this way can aid c.d sales and crowd sizes at live gigs.
