Do you want your music released on stores and streaming-services without any fuzz, no initial cost for you, and without any monthly/early cost, meaning not a single bill ever for you to be bothered about, and still you get your music released to digital stores/sites like these:
"Spotify, 7Digital (that you buy music from spotify), iTunes (global), Napster, Amazon MP3, Emusic, Vidzone, Junodownload, Peoples Music Store, Sony Play Now Arena, Nokia Music Store, Deezer Rhapsody, LaLa, 24/7 Entertainment, CDON, Wimp, Masterbeat, Tune Tribe, Masterbeat, JamVana, Beatport, Hardstyle.com + alot more!!!
There is now a way for ALL OF YOU to get your music released for free & out on the digital stores for sale in notime!
(Read below for more info about the deal)
Did I get your attention, or does it sound interesting to you in anyway at all? Then do continue reading this post. This is NOT your regular spam, but a great opportunity for musicians that just didn't know it could be this easy to get their music distributed and released to a bigger audience, without any cost for the artist itself! 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have myself been apart of the "scene" since back in 1998, a good old time especially for us who are a bit of age these days, when sharing was caring and musicians meet in community's likes this, TIS, United Trackers and mp3.com. They exchanged their views, knowledge and thoughts about music, and the scene was prospering with an abundance of downloaders and critics at hand.
Those days are remembered with lot of happy memory's and opportunity's for the artists and listeners as well, and that fact that anyone, anywhere, could upload their music and get noticed, listened to and commented on by anyone, anywhere was something that kept many of us keep coming back for more.
Today the scene as we knew it is in many aspects in a dying form, where it seems to sadly have lost it's "golden age", and the World Wide Web is filled with sites about music, and even the well know and professional artists made their way to the web to use it to a maximum, and make sure they are seen everywhere.
That is why also you, as a musician, need to do the same thing! And a small, but now easy step is to get your music released on sites as iTunes and Spotify!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<< So now to the thing this post really is all about >>
Spotify and iTunes and the likes has become the new way to listen to and find new music, and every serious musician need some kind of youtube or twitter account to keep in touch with their fans, and to be "seen" and found on the net. Many of the "amateur" or semi-pro musicians out there has their own myspace page, usually accompanied by a youtubechannel. But a lot of artists feel themself far from the idea of having their music released, to stores as named in the start of this topic.
They might be to lazy, don't know how to get their music there, wait for a label to contact them, or they are simply low on cash and cant cover the costs and work it goes down into releasing their music. Whatever the reason is for people to not release their music to the bigger audience and on the onlinestores
There is now a way for ALL OF YOU to get your music released and out on the digital stores!
<<<--- THE DEAL WORKS LIKE THIS --->>>
As an A&R at RecordUnion I am able to give you people 2 FREE releases.
1 Release can contain anything between 1-99 songs, so a 55 track album still counts as 1 release.
The release will be distributed to a lot of digital stores like:
"Spotify, 7Digital (that you buy music from spotify), iTunes (global), Napster, Amazon MP3, Emusic, Vidzone, Junodownload, Peoples Music Store, Sony Play Now Arena, Nokia Music Store, Deezer Rhapsody, LaLa, 24/7 Entertainment, CDON, Wimp, Masterbeat, Tune Tribe, Masterbeat, JamVana, Beatport, Hardstyle.com + alot more!!
You keep 100% rights to your music. You are free to sell CD's, give your music away here at CTG or your personal homepage, or have music and deals with other music stores/sites that we don't collaborate with, like Bandcamp or Soundcloud. The only important thing is that we, the company, want exclusive distribution rights to the specific stores we work with, especially to avoid any duplicates of your albums/singles out there.
As said, you get 2 FREE releases/UPC codes from me when you sign up threw me as an A&R and with the special A&R code that you get from me. This way, straight after registration, you can upload 2 releases (1-99 songs each) for FREE in .wav format, and they will in a few days be converted to other formats and distributed automatic to the different stores.
The company's share is 5$/year, and after that 15% of the artists profit. But, and this is the sweet thing, the 5$ & 15% is only taken from your (possible) sales. If you don't sell anything, you don't pay anything! There is never a bill, or a cost for you.
If you are interested, let me know, either by a message here at CTG or by mail (spaw@live.se).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
INFO ON HOW TO SIGN UP PROPERLY
If your interested of joining up straight away, and get your music on iTunes and the likes in a weeks time, this is the exact way you need to do to register and get your 2 FREE RELEASES:
1. Step One - Go to register at Record Union (396 hits)
(but don't forget the A&R code at registration = 2355a905b9 !)
2. Step Two - Edit your account info.
3. Step Three - In registration, under the "A&R Code" field, write: 2355a905b9
(It is of much importance to add the A&R code during registration. You can not add one after that)
4. Step Four - If you got a Paypal account already, add it. If not, this is NOT necessary at this point, you can still register without a Paypal account. But you will need a account before you make your first actual release so you can get your earnings paid to you!
5. Step Five - Start editing your info, upload music, make your release etc and your set to go!
6. Step Six - Your music will be out in the stores in a few days, depending on what store it is.
7. You need to be of legal age, that means 18!

I understand that Paypal can be something some people don't want to use, cu's they don't like it, or for moral reason. But, this is the way we have to pay you at the moment, and you do want to get paid!
Hopefully there will come other ways to get paid in the future, but for now, you need a Paypal account. But, as said, to register and get entitled to your 2 free releases, and check around, you don't need a Paypal account at registration, only when you actually make your first release.

My thoughts exactly! After all... CTG has always been more about the music than the views, or ..money. <3
