I believe A&R Select are worthless. If you go to their website, they have NO real success stories or artists I have heard of.

I received an email from someone named Lisa and a phone number. When I called the number and asked for Lisa, they refused to put her on the phone and demanded I give them my number, to call me back.

A few minutes later some guy called (no one named Lisa). He told me that I did a good job with my music, but when I inquired to him what it was about my music he liked, he stuttered and started talking about how they could place my music in TV. He was very quick to demand my credit card info, to charge $299.99 (conveinantly one cent less than a felony theft charge in Kentucky) for their six month membership.

I actually mentioned to him that TAXI could do the same thing for the same price, but it would be a ONE year membership, and I've heard of Taxi....and heard of success stories through Taxi.

The man I spoke to on the phone became aggravated, and he told me that Taxi basically just sends you a magazine every other month. He said that I had to play the money up front, then they would help me later.

I didn't believe him, and told him to lose my number and never call again.
