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.
