MAURY SINGS YESTON, 40 tracks designed to delight and amaze you, will be released tomorrow at all digital and streaming platforms. A couple of important words in advance, and please pass them around. (1/7)
The iTunes download will come with a full 29-page booklet, which includes an essay by Maury, all the lyrics, and information about songs that were cut or revised, and why. It also “sets up” the songs that benefit from a little exposition. (2/7)
We urge you to purchase the iTunes edition for that reason. And we urge you to purchase rather than stream for the following reason. People keep asking us to make more albums. So permit us to talk about the economics of the business for a moment. (3/7)
If you purchase the album at iTunes, roughly $8 comes back to the label, and we might be able to pay off the cost of actually making this album. If you stream the album, then approximately *seven cents* comes back to the label. (4/7)
Labels don’t often discuss how much streaming is killing us. But everyone seems committed to keeping the arts alive right now, and we hope that includes record labels like ours, still dedicated to preserving the heritage of Broadway and American Popular Song. (5/7)
And to help us do that, consider downloading instead of steaming. And for your own pleasure, consider downloading from iTunes and enjoying the booklet we’ve been working with Maury to prepare for you. (6/7)
Although our output is more limited now than half a decade ago, we still love these albums we make, and we love unveiling them for you all. We hope to do so for many years to come, and we thank you for the privilege of entertaining you. – Tommy & Philip, PS Classics (7/7)
