FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Perseverance Records signs new distribution deal with MVD Entertainment Group.
(Burbank, CA) October 14, 2013 — Perseverance Records has signed a new national and international distribution deal with MVD Entertainment Group (Music Video Distributors) based in Pottstown, PA. MVD will handle physical and digital distribution of Perseverance’s growing catalog of over 70 releases.
“It made a lot of sense for our label to move to a distributor of MVD’s caliber,” said CEO and founder Robin Esterhammer. “MVD affords us a chance to reach retailers and consumers around the world. They are a game changer in terms of the services and opportunities they can offer us.”
Perseverance will be releasing 24 new releases in the next 24 months. “We have deals in place to release many more soundtracks as well as pop and rock reissues, new releases from legacy acts, and audiophile reissues on SACD and Pure Audio Blu-ray. MVD’s reach in video distribution will also allow us to achieve a long-term goal to expand into releasing small independent films and reissues on Blu-ray, DVD and on-demand.”
Music Video Distributors just announced the first two new releases from Perseverance. The soundtrack to the Steve Martin film, “Pennies From Heaven,” and Brian Ralston’s score from “Crooked Arrows.”

About Perseverance Records
Perseverance Records was founded by Robin Esterhammer in 2003, when a friend by chance located the master tapes of one of his favorite film scores in a dumpster behind CTS Studios in London. Robin produced it and began to put out other titles licensed from MGM, Columbia Pictures, as well as independent production companies. 2012 saw the first major addition to their catalog with the inking of a licensing deal with Rhino Entertainment.
Says founder Robin Esterhammer, “I do this for the love of film music and the appreciation of film composers, neglected and underappreciated as they unfortunately are in today's motion picture industry.
“Artists should always know that they can find a home at Persey, where they will be supported and nurtured. We take pride in the fact that we make ourselves available to our composers and the ones who want to work with us.
“We have an existing roster of established music makers, but we are also looking for the next big star composer that we can build up.”

I usually lurk here but I had to jump in on this. What Perseverance is doing is creating another sales channel. I know the folks at MVD and can say they do very good work. A cash flow drain is taking a product and focusing into one area of sales. What it looks like Mr. Esterhammer is doing is moving into the world of direct to consumer sales through Alliance and Super D. His is a niche catalog so any sales he creates through this new arrangement can only be good for his long term business objectives.
The only way this deal would be a drain on cash is if he over manufactures. Most distribution companies of today do not want more inventory than they can ship so I tend to see deals like this as complimentary.
Um, no. And welcome to the board and your very first post - I especially enjoyed "I know the folks at MVD." Jolly good!

I sure do  Anyone who's been around long enough in this game will understand exactly what Lukas means.

I suppose that he was just expressing his hope that things will go badly for Perseverance
Regardless of what Mr. Kendall may or may not think about Perseverance, he was expressing no such thing. He understands reality as would anyone who knows anything about independent distribution.

Oh joy, another hate fest.
Sorry, I see no hate here, do you? If you see hate, please point me to it.

Well...
Seems whenever anybody from that label posts anything out comes you and Lukas to call the poor guy names. He announced what looks to be a good deal. Another poster disagrees on distribution and points out why it's good and you question them.
If it were you announcing a deal like this and somebody called you out, you'd be upset to no end. Anytime Doug says something you dislike you get all worked up. Fact of the matter, Bruce, is Robin is doing something smart here. The distribution game has changed since you were in it. It's all about direct to consumer channels. Argue with me, poo poo it, say what you want but the fact of the matter is he's doing something smart for his business. I can easily lay out more reasons for what he's doing will work but you'll try to discredit me like you did the other poster.
I laugh that the guy who got let go at not one but two labels comes in here to attack others.

Ah, Bruce, you're so candid.
Depending on the place. Why don't you go express your opinion to Mr. John Yap to "shut him up" instead of asking others to do it?
(That's a question, not a suggestion.)
I would much rather shut YOU up But that seems to be impossible, and what exactly does your post have to do with the subject at hand? Why are you posting about ME personally and something that has nothing to do with this board. Why? Huh? Oh, everyone knows why.

Why, altamese, how many names do you have here? Oh, I see this one has been shut down already. Please point out under your other name where I called Robin a name. I'm not Lukas, in case you haven't noticed and your agenda here is well known, and please don't tell me about distribution, you amateur. You know nothing about it. You'd have to point out the attacks, too - I just made a comment and pointed out the amusement of someone who is clearly from the distribution company making a first post here to defend - the distribution company. No attacks have come from me, but as usual you make your lame attempts to make this about me. Sorry, another fail for you, I'm afraid. Why don't you create some more usernames - you had about ten on my site before I ferreted them all out. Pathetic.
