RECORDS
“A Taste Of Triple A is a great resource to expose bands both big and small—whether it’s an emerging artist, or a superstar act, like Eddie Vedder, Santana, Dave Matthews Band and the like—in these days where ALL of us are assuming a lot more responsibilities and wearing a lot more hats, both on the label side and the radio side, having a ‘one-stop shopping’ resource to listen to current Triple A priorities is an invaluable tool for all of us.”
—Adrian Moreira, VP Adult Format Promotion, RCA Music Group
“What you’re paying for is making sure that every PD, MD and Specialty Show host in the Triple A format gets your song. A Taste Of Triple A’s mailing list is very accurate and updated immediately when there are any changes. That’s invaluable. Also, sending your record by itself with no recognition would probably not get the same listening. Most programmers are overwhelmed by the amount of music they receive and there’s not enough time in the day to listen to every single record that comes in, but many track through the sampler as a way to give a listen to the most important of the new releases all on one disc. It’s easy access. That’s the value of A Taste Of Triple A.”
—Marc Ratner, Mishara Records
“All of the stations we work with utilize this very valuable tool. It’s so convenient for them to have so many of the records they want to bring into their music meeting all on one disc. Additionally, our clients save a fortune in reservicing to stations, simply by placing their single on A Taste Of Triple A.”
—Michele Clark, M:M Music
“If a picture says 1,000 words, then having a song on A Taste Of Triple A is worth 10 times that. It does what all other advertisements do not: it brands your artist with something better than a quote or photo. Stations get the entire song with all the vital information in one convenient package and your band gets heard alongside major acts, up-and-comers and core artists.”
—Meg MacDonald, M:M Music
“A Taste Of Triple A is especially good for servicing some secondary stations that don't get the single from our mailing list. They made it a point to tell us, ‘We got the song on the Taste Of Triple A sampler.’ It's a big help in keeping us up-to-date. Thank you.”
—Drew Murray, Bluhammock Music
“I have found A Taste of Triple A to be indispensable to the bands I work with, most of whom are just starting out for their first time at radio. It’s a low-cost way to reach everyone at the format—I even find some new fans at radio that I didn't know about. I recommend it for anyone who wants to get the word out.”
—“Notorious” Liz Cousins, Notorious Radio
“A Taste Of Triple A should be part of your marketing budget. I can’t tell you the number of times stations have told me they heard an artist I am working on A Taste Of Triple A, or asked me if the song was on the sampler. It’s made my job easier as far as making sure decision-makers have at least heard the CD.”
—Jeff Appleton, Marathon Entertainment
“A Taste Of Triple A is a very effective tool for the independent label/artist to reach the decision makers at Triple A radio. Much to my delight, programmers were spinning the first single from a totally unknown artist on an unknown label prior to us even contacting them.”
—Steve Yanek, Primitive Records
