I've been given a chance to record some of my songs for free, and I have to let the person know by Monday weather I want to or not.
The only thing is that I don't really think any of my work is up to recordable standards.
Should I except the offer and record something that is possibly craply embarrassing, or decline and try to perfect my songs and risk never recording on anything except a tatty old cassette recorder?
to record, or not to record

accept it.it's free so you are under no financial obligation to do anything with the recordings if they're crap or you don't like something .however it's invaluable chance to listen to what you have got and have a fixed version from where to develop/tweak/re-write the things.and you can play it other people who you want to give an idea of it to without having to do a one man performance.s'a free demo and recording is an "experience". it's a gift horse whose mouth you may as well not look in.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

even if the single is crap, then you'll have gained loads of experience of the recording process which will help you

If it's crap I'll do what Von probably wished he could of done with The Damage Done, I'll sweep it under the mattress.

If you don't like it you can still pull out because of 'artistic integrity'

Bear in mind that when you're famous, the NTS demos will be freely available in the Weeding Section.
Good luck!

is this just an oblique way of letting us know you'll have some product?
