This sample music compilation Agreement should be used when a compilation CD is being created as part of a community project. It is drafted with unsigned artists in mind who do not have a publisher or a recording company to negotiate on their behalf.
This sample contract agreement allows both the organization compiling the CD and the artist to sell and make money from the compilation CD, but to some certain conditions.
If the musician has a music publisher or is signed to a record label, you may need to contact that label company or publisher to obtain the rights to reproduce the musical work, sound recording and lyrics onto a CD compilation. In many cases labels and publishers will have their own sample contract agreements which they will give for you to use.
If the organization producing the CD compilation is also assisting the artists produce the original recording of the music and lyrics, the sample contract will need additional terms to be included and agreed upon.
This sample contract agreement includes the most common terms, which the artist and organization should agree on. Think carefully about each item and add, change or delete clauses to your purposes. It is recommended that you obtain legal advice on your draft prior to sending it to the other party if possible.
