Cylinder 04 / Physical & Digital Distribution

Get the details right. Get the release delivered.

Audio, artwork, credits, release dates and destinations all have to agree. We help prepare the release, coordinate delivery through your partners and follow up when something needs correcting.

Plan your release delivery

A first release, a catalog cleanup, a physical edition or a release with several partners and deadlines.

IN PRACTICE / OUR OWN LABEL

The Family. Behind the listening links.

BBCR handled The Family’s release administration through TuneCore, investigated artist-profile mapping issues and prepared a corrected nine-track delivery catalog. Follow-up also brought an album-artwork correction confirmed by TuneCore. The physical record had its own shop and retail ordering path.

THE WORK WE CAN TAKE ON

A clear scope.
A useful handoff.

Choose the pieces your project needs. We agree the deliverables, responsibilities and dates before the work begins.

01

Release preparation

A review of masters, artwork, track order, credits and the information your chosen distributor needs.

02

One current release record

An organized metadata and asset register so your team works from the same titles, identifiers, credits and approved files.

03

Delivery coordination

Clear responsibilities and handoffs for digital delivery, physical product partners and agreed retail destinations.

04

Checks and corrections

Review release links and artist profiles, document errors and coordinate the necessary follow-up with the platform or distributor.

FROM THE BRIEF TO THE HANDOFF

Keep the work moving.

  1. 01

    Check the release

    Review the formats, files, rights and approval contacts, dates and destinations before setting the delivery plan.

  2. 02

    Prepare the handoff

    Resolve gaps, collect approvals and organize the files and information for the people delivering the release.

  3. 03

    Deliver and verify

    Track the agreed handoffs, check available release destinations and keep outstanding corrections visible.

BEFORE WE GET ROLLING

Good questions.

Do I need to move to a different distributor?

We start with the setup you have. We can help prepare and administer a release through your existing distributor, then identify any gaps that need a different approach.

Can you help with vinyl as well as streaming?

Yes. Physical production, delivery and retail coordination can be included alongside digital release work. We confirm the partners, quantities and costs in the project scope.

Can you fix a release attached to the wrong artist?

We can investigate the issue, assemble the correct release information and coordinate the correction request. The platform or distributor controls when the change is made.

One job, consulting, or the full package with consulting. Tell us what you need and we’ll work through the scope, timing and next steps with you. A rough plan is enough.

Add a name, budget, date or artwork link (optional)

This starts a conversation. It is not an order or a commitment to spend. We’ll use these details to respond to your project request. If you arrived through a campaign link, its campaign codes may accompany your brief. This does not subscribe you to marketing. Privacy policy.
