 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.
