The "The Balladeers"
Compilation album receives major publicity from radio, paper media etc,
and is also publicised via the Balladeers Bulletin. The artists on the
Compilation albums are all invited to submit profiles etc on themselves
for inclusion in the Bulletin as extra publicity.
Every album sold not only promotes the artist concerned but all other
artists on the album as well.
The Australian Bush Balladeers Compilation album along with The Balladeers
Bulletin, have become a major part of the united effort to promote Bush
Ballad artists and their music throughout Australia and the world.

Other details RE the Compilation albums:
The A.B.B.A. Registers all recorded works on Compilation albums with
AMCOS.
AMCOS distributes the royalties on the amount of stock the Association
purchases, so the songwriters/songwriting artists performing self-penned
material on the album, providing they are registered with AMCOS, will
receive their royalty cheques via AMCOS.
The Association STRONGLY suggests the songwriters register their work
with AMCOS (at no cost) as this can ensure receiving royalties from
radio airplay and live performances.
