Does Warner/Chapell accept unsolicited tapes?
No. We don’t. They have to be referred. ‘Unsolicited’, to me means just sending it through the mail. If the tape is referred to me by somebody who has done the initial screening, then I’d be more than happy to listen to it. But, if you just send it through the mail, I don’t accept it. There’s too much to do here. I try and set aside Friday afternoons to listen to all the tapes that I get. But it’s very hard, because inevitably somebody wants something and I need to take care of it, and then the Friday afternoon’s gone and it’s another week before I get to them.
