Beyond The Tip Jar Vol 1
You are out there busting your ass playing covers to a bunch of tourists to fund the songs inside you that you want to share with the world. We aim to bridge that gap while growing your audience with this special project. We are going to produce a premium 180 gram splatter, one‑time vinyl compilation. Go home knowing you earned more than a tip and that someone gave you even more while more importantly walked home with a piece of your dream along with 9 others of you sacrificing the broadway grind.
The printing quantity will be driven entirely by your fans’ preorders. 100 copies go to the artists to sell as they please, 100 to the web store and the rest will be set by the demand and promotion from the artists to their fans. Preorder 1,000 and we go that high, if it’s 20 it goes that low. We are taking the risk with a 50/50 split and no recoup. Once these sell out they are gone. This is something your fans do not want to miss out on. Once we launch preorders they will have 14 days to place an order. This is the only way they can guarantee themselves a copy and a great way for you to get them the promo codes.
You keep 100% of your masters & publishing, receive statutory mechanical royalties paid up front,
and get a custom referral code that pays you for every record sold in the launch window.
This is our inaugural batch so for collectors who want to support Indies this is the project for them. We have plans for others as well including our next project being a Tennessee Whiskey Theme album.
At Arley Records, we prioritize artists, fostering creativity, integrity, and community to amplify authentic musical voices worldwide.
Physical Copies
We give you 10 but you are welcome to buy more at $10 each. These are for you to connect with the fans on broadway and allow them to take you home with them.
Advance
We will even advance 25 to you if you want which would be recouped from your web sales but is in no way a requirement to this project.

10 Free Copies
We provide you with 10 free copies for you to sell at your broadway performances. Allowing the tourists to take a part of you home with them. You can sell at whatever price you determine. They could leave a tip or give more along with walking home with your music.
Dedicated Collaborative Support
With this being a compilation album you will benefit from multiple artists promoting not only their own music but yours as well. All web sales of your compilation album are sold at a 50/50 split with NO RECOUP!
Bonuses for Promoting
We will give each artist a promo code for their fans to use. Fans will receive a discount and the artist will earn a $5 referral bonus for each album sold in addition to splitting the net profit on the sale.
