"Records used to be documents, but now record companies want product"

- Stan Getz

About this Quote

This quote by Stan Getz is describing the altering nature of the music market. In the past, records were physical files which contained music, but now record companies are searching for more than simply music. They desire a product that can be marketed and sold to the general public. This shift in focus has actually changed the method music is produced and dispersed. Artists now need to think about how their music will exist to the public, and how it will be marketed. Record companies are now searching for a product that can be sold, instead of simply a document of music. This quote is a suggestion of how the music market has actually altered over time, and how it continues to progress.
