“I was the kind of entrepreneur that never really felt I made it. When Mike Olefield's "Tubular Bells" [Virgin Records' first release] sold 8 or 10 million copies, I suppose, at age 19, I could've possibly retired on the money. Instead, I immediately pushed the boat and took that risk again.” FirstsKindMadeAgeFeltMillionsRecordsRiskEntrepreneurBoatReleaseMade ItCopiesBellsVirginsMikeRetired Author:Richard Branson
“Everybody needs a release. Sometimes people mosh at my shows. That inspired me to make records to get the people more crunk.

“The internet has not granted us more control in relation to the record company because we're still bound by an agreement with them not to release our music without their consent. But they generally let us do what we want, anyway, so it doesn't matter who's officially in control.” WantStillsMatterCompanyRecordsInternetRelationBoundsReleaseGrantedAgreementConsentRecord Companies Author:Rivers Cuomo
“People want you to produce records. They don't care what it took to make it. When a band is out doing concerts, the fans don't want to know about equipment difficulties.

“Sometimes, you release an album and the record company just about ignores it, and so many people don't even know it's out. And I'm not about to jump up and down shouting, "Hey folks, look at me!

“But acting is my main profession so it's about finding the right balance. I don't know how, if I went any further with the music, I would manage to do both - I would have to take time off from acting because I couldn't do both at same time. I could do six months on and six months off perhaps. But I'm really proud of the record. I've worked on it for a while and I'm really glad to finally get the album out, having done three EPs prior to its release.” IfsKnowsDoneThreeActingKnow HowRecordsMonthsProudBalanceSixFindingsAlbumsProfessionGladManageReleaseTake TimeSix MonthsTime Off Author:Iwan Rheon
“At 13 years old, I realized I could start my own band. I could write my own song, I could record my own record. I could start my own label. I could release my own record. I could book my own shows. I could write and publish my own fanzine. I could silk-screen my own T-shirt. I could do this all myself.” WritingYearsBookShowsSongMy OwnRecordsBandScreensI RealizedReleaseLabelsShirtsT ShirtPublishSilk Author:Dave Grohl
