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.

[edit] Is this a spamlink ?
I have twice removed the external link for "Crazed Hits" which was added by user 84.175.244.16 (Talk) I think the link adds nothing to the article and is purely a spamlink? So I don't break the 3 revert rule can somebody else either remove the link, or tell me I am wrong? Thanks --Richhoncho (talk) 15:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Crazed Hits has been featured as a lead story on HitsDailyDouble, which is probably the most renowned music industry website and publication in the world. The site is read by a ton of music industry people, with the majority being A&Rs, so I think it definitely belongs in the article and adds value to it.

- By the same virtue an article about a chef should include a link the The Caterer? I don't think so. --Richhoncho (talk) 00:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
If he/it is doing A&R work, and was featured in the most renowned A&R publication, then YES. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flashbaxx (talk • contribs) 08:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
The link to Kings of A&R (which had been on this page previously), was removed when CrazedHits.com attempted to promote their aspiring blog through this entry. I don't really care what happens to the crazed hits link, but could the Kings of A&R link please be returned to this entry? There was no explanation for its removal. Thank you.

Done. But it was the other way around. Someone affiliated with Kings of A&R kept removing the Crazed Hits link. Both sites belong here, no need for the Kings of A&R people to remove the competition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flashbaxx (talk • contribs) 20:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
