CD or CD-R with the track or tracks you'd like to submit. Payment can be
sent with your CD (cash/check/money order), or you can send a Paypal payment for $65 to: records@dblcrown.com
This is only available for songs that are surf, instro, garage, rockabilly
or exotic music. There are probably some songs that are outside these genres that will be acceptable too. However, I don't want songs that are obviously outside these genres - no techno, modern/alternative rock, modern country, folk, classical, etc.
Deadline is March 31st, 2007. If you have any questions, e-mail me at:
