What is an 'Independent record label'?

A typed promotion letter typed with your address. Before sending out, make sure you check for typos, use a spelling checker. Also, your CD must be impeccable  and must sound broadcast ready,if possible, of course.

Never sending unsolicited

When targeting the US record labels...

Never send unsolicited packages to US record labels. They simply will not accept it. And, in some states of the U.S. it is illegal to send unsolicited. You'll get a "Return to sender". So don't waste your money. Send them ( the A&R Executives) an e-mail, make a phone call : Ask permission before sending your package.
