Talk:A&R

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Perhaps this article should be moved to the Wictionary.

Nah. It just needs to be expanded. --b. Touch 03:20, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

How much can it realistically be expanded? IMHO, this is an industry term that either belongs in Wictionary, or merged into an article about the record industry. -- Frenchgeek 04:49, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

It should be expanded to discuss just what goes on in an A&R department, and name some notqable A&Rs. --b. Touch 06:14, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think it could do with a list of A&R heads at major labels across the world, that would make it more encyclopaedic... - Duncan 16:12, 4th Mar 2006

[edit] plural?

"Artist" or "artists"? -- Shadowhillway 22:02, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

True, it does need a litle more expansion, i came here as a last ditch attempt to finish an essay, but i did not get enough info to accomodate

[edit] Title an abbreviation?

I know that the abbreviation is commonly used in the industry, but should the article be under the actual name, Artist and repertoire? Or "Artist and repertoire representative" or "Artist and repertoire department"? With the abbrevs being the redirects? —Hanuman Das 02:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

No. Becaue the term is actually A&R. Artist and repertoire makes it sound like that is what they do, when in reality they produce, they define the direction of a record label, they are responsible for the direction a particular artist takes, and therefore they define the direction music is heading.
