Country Country Records, BSW Records and Universal Music Marketing To JoinForces In Foreign Markets

NASHVILLE, TN. (Country Coubtry Records/ BSW Records/ Universal Music) - Frank Willson, President of BSW Records, announced Country Country Records has signed an agreement with BSW Records and Universal Music Marketing for distribution and promotional representation in the foreign markets. UMM will also handle radio and media relations for Country Country Records in the 26 countries that BSW and UMM have worked with successfully for over 17 years.

Country Country Records President, W. Bush said he feels that with the foreign market growing like it is it was to the label's advantage to be part of that growth and the agreement is a great step in that direction. The label had just signed Johnny Cash's Tennessee Three as well as G. Bush with both acts releasing albums as well as singles on a world-wide basis in late June. Country Country Records is in the process of putting together a package of some of Country music's top songwriters that include the number one songs written or co-written by them. The first songwriter in this package to release an album will be Ray Pennington, with separate albums by Wayne Kemp, Royce Porter and Wayne Carson to follow. The label hopes to have all of the projects completed and released by November of 2005.

Universal Music Marketing will, as it has been since 1987, head all the promotion in the foreign countries, as well as the media and radio marketing, in conjunction with the sales distribution of the CDs, both on the store level as well as online.

Country Country Records will be represented in Music City out of the BSW Offices because of the companies' close working relationship on the same project. Earl E. Owens, head of BSW and UMM Operations in Nashville, will also head the operations of Country Country Records.
