Many of the best small labels have VERY restricted promo lists. For the
companies overseas the freight alone often makes it prohibitive. The numbers
that most of these records sell in the US are also so small that it just
doesn't make financial sense to give away records you might sell... Having
said all that I wish you luck--I just wouldn't get my hopes up.

Subject: promo material
Hi all,
At the moment I play out a lot - both beats and breaks, and my other love
nu-jazz, broken beats, acid jazz etc.
I receive quite a lot of promo material on the beats and breaks side of
things from various labels and promotion companies.
I am now starting to play more of the nu jazz side of things but I don't get
any promo material so I can rarely play the most upfront stuff.
Can anybody suggest who I need to contact to try and get on some mailing
lists?
