“The difference between success and failure is information,” notes Ritch Esra, and he should know. Along with his partner, Stephen Trumbull, Esra is a leading part of the number one most-reliable source of information on “who’s who” and “who does what” in the music business. Best of all, they can tell you where everybody is located.
FIVE VOLUMES OF DATA.
The Music Business Registry (http://www.musicregistry.com) publishes five directories: the “A&R Registry,” the “Music Publisher Registry,” the “Music Business Attorney Registry” the “Film and Television Music Guide,” and the “Record Producer and Recording Engineer Directory.” For many in the business, these are indispensable reference works.
“The directories give everyone vital, accurate and the most up-to-date information they need to contact the entire A&R, music publishing, legal and film/TV music communities,” Esra states. From comparing notes with dozens of professionals in all of these areas of expertise, I can tell you that no one disputes his claim.
More than one music industry executive has told me that the Music Business Registry publications are worth their weight in platinum. Tess Taylor, president of NARIP (National Association of Record Industry Professionals), says “I couldn’t get through one day without the directories from the Music Business Registry. These publications are the finest in the business.”
Each directory tells you how to reach industry professionals by regular mail, e-mail, direct dial telephone and fax. The books provide each person’s exact title, street address, the name of their assistant and the styles of music in which each executive specializes. Web sites are also included.
UPDATES? YOU WANT UPDATES?
The world of the A&R executive is exciting but ever-changing. Which is to say, there’s a lot of turnover in this part of the industry. So much turnover, in fact, that the A&R Registry is completely updated and reprinted every eight weeks, whereas the publisher volume is biannual and the other books come out yearly.
NEED A PRODUCER? HERE ARE 1,700 OF THEM!
Created in partnership with RPM Direct, the “Record Producer & Recording Engineer Directory” presents 1,700 of today’s leading Record Producers, Recording Engineers & Remixers throughout the US, Canada and Europe in every genre of music. Included in the book are:
(1) Complete contact information for every Producer, Remixer & Recording Engineer along with a list of their credits.
(2) Producer/Engineer/Remixer Management Companies including a complete
staff listing as well as full client rosters.
(3) A Complete Index to easily locate any producer.
(4) Several Interviews and articles with today’s leading Producers & Engineers.
No wonder you can find the Music Business Registry’s publications in the offices of top record company executives, music publishers, artist managers, agents, music attorneys, recording artists, studios and other music business professionals everywhere from Los Angeles to London, New York to Nashville, Chicago to Copenhagen, Toronto to Tokyo, Stockholm to Sydney and Minneapolis to Munich.

Contrite Sanchez Issues Apology To Stewart for “Inartful” Comments
New York, NY, United States (AHN) – Fired CNN correspondent Rick Sanchez broke his silence Wednesday regarding the comments that cost him his job. In a statement, Sanchez said he had apologized to “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart for his “inartful comments” and confirmed he had a “very good conversation” with the TV satirist.
The statement comes a day after Sanchez’s wife posted on her Facebook page that he had spoken to Stewart.
On Sept. 30. while on a radio interview Sanchez called Jewish comedian Stewart a “bigot,” and then said “a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart.”
Sanchez wondered aloud whether American Jews are “an oppressed minority.” CNN issued a statement the next day that he was terminated.
Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes also took time to address the termination of Sanchez during an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday. He spoke graciously of Sanchez and even implied Sanchez could possibly return to the company in the future. “He did a lot of good work for CNN, and anything is possible.”
Sanchez’s full statement follows.
“On October 4th, I had a very good conversation with Jon Stewart, and I had the opportunity to apologize for my inartful comments from last week. I sincerely extend this apology to anyone else whom I may have offended.
“As Jon was kind enough to note in his show Monday night, I am very much opposed to hate and intolerance, in any form, and I have frequently spoken out against prejudice. Despite what my tired and mangled words may have implied, they were never intended to suggest any sort of narrow-mindedness and should never have been made.
“In the aftermath of these comments, CNN and I have decided to part ways. However, I want to go on record to say that I have nothing but the highest regard for CNN and for my six wonderful years with them. I appreciate every opportunity that they have given me, and it has been a wonderful experience working for them. I have tremendous respect for everyone there, and I know that they feel the same about me. There are no hard feelings, just excitement about a new future of opportunities.
“I look forward to my next step with great anticipation. In the meantime, I will continue to promote my book, ‘Conventional Idiocy,’ in the hopes of broadening the discussion to get a better understanding between all Americans, regardless of race, creed or religion.”
