A&R Select is the reason why I have joined this forum. I was contacted by them through my myspace page, same story as almost everyone else here. "Andy" called me today, waxing enthusiastic about this silly riff that I have on my page. Toward the end of the pitch (including the part where they assign you an "image consultant" to make you look marketable - I had to laugh: I don't want to be famous, Andy, I just want to sell more riffs.) he slipped it in ever so gently - the $299 fee. Suddenly "Run To The Hills" by Iron Maiden started going through my head...

I think JPF may have gotten a few new members because of A&R Select. Never heard of this site 'til I googled them. Thanks for the heads-up y'all.
