I would say Ebay.  Before listing the records, I would check to see what they have been selling at in the completed items listings.  You can see what they have been selling for and make an educated decision on pricing, cost to ship, etc.\n\nAmazon.com sells music, but i doubt they have a listing for vinyl.

There have been a lot of problems lately with people stealing and posting things on the Internet. The (incorrect) assumption is that anything on the Web is public domain. Creators of all types are learning to protect themselves by making it clear that their work is copyrighted: A copyright protects an artist, publisher or writer from unauthorized copying of his or her work - including song lyrics. \n \n \n Steps:\n1.  Write your lyric and put it in a tangible form - on paper, sheet music, computer disk or audiotape. You can't copyright an idea that is still in your head.\n \n2.  Recognize that anything written after April 1, 1989, is automatically protected (in the United States) by an assumed copyright. If you don't transfer the copyright to someone else, it will last 70 years past your date of death.\n \n3.  Register with the U.S. Copyright Office so that you can more easily collect damages if your work is copied. This also provides public notice.\n \n4.  Use the U.S. Copyright Office's PA form to register a song. Use its SR form to register published and unpublished sound recordings.\n \n5.  Expect to pay a nonrefundable fee for registration. The current charge is $30.\n \n6.  Include a copyright notice at the end of your work. The proper format is: Copyright or �, year of first publication of the work, author's name: � 2000 John Doe or Copyright 2000 John Doe.\n \n \n Tips:\n Check out the Copyright Office's free electronic-mailing list, NewsNet. To subscribe, send a message to LISTSERV@RS8.LOC.GOV. Type SUBSCRIBE USCOPYRIGHT in the body of the message.\n \n \n Warnings:\n Register your copyright anytime, but remember that, if registration is made within three months before an infringement of the work, the owner can collect statutory damages and attorney's fees in court action. If the work is not registered, he or she can collect only actual damages and profits.\n \n Tips from eHow Users:\n Poor man's copyright \nTo extend this idea and make it more legal, have the copy(s) notarized before sealing it (them) in an envelope. Be sure to mail it to yourself the same day so that the postmark will coincide with the date it was notarized (and you won't have to open the envelope in case you forgot exactly when it was notarized). Although not a secure substitute for a government copyright, it would still be legally recognized by the government as valid.\n \n \nRate this tip:     \n \n Poor Man's copyright by eHow Friend\nI would advise that you not to rely on the Poor Man's copyright. Ensure that you read up very carefully on the Poor Man's copyright before you put faith in it to copyright songs or lyrics.

You need a demo. Try to find a local recording studio where you can record 3 or 4 of your songs. Make sure to ask to hear a few samples of artists that they've recorded. Do they sound professional? Are they similar to the style of music you're writing? What do these guys charge per hour?\n\nOnce you have a demo, you can try to book live performances or search for a manager. That's really the first step.

Although you can copyright via the net (or get the forms through sites like: http://www.copyright.gov/forms I believe it would be in your best interest to call the copyright office at: (202) 707-3000 and have Form “PA” (performing arts), sent directly to you. For years, some people have even believed that “mailing the song to yourself” is protection of some kind. This is NOT the case (nor has it ever been). You have stated the possibility that: “I believe that the act of just post your song here is proof of authership, but does it establish ownership and what of copyright.” This is not the case either. Who is to say that one didn’t steal the song and then “post” it before the original writer? \n\nYour best bet is to simply copyright the song in a legal fashion…therefore avoiding problems down the road. \n\nA “song” is an “asset” (just like a home or a vehicle), but it is referred to as an “intellectual asset”. Just as a “deed” is to a home or a “title” is to a car…the “copyright” establishes ownership to your “intellectual asset” (that being a song). There are no tricks nor ways around it. \n\nFurther, a “copyright” does not get you “money”, but merely establishes ownership. If and when your song is “published” and “sells”, you will receive money from the publisher (whether the publisher is you or some outside entity). \n\nIn the US, if you publish material that's not registered, you can be assessed a $500 (or is it $250) fine. I assume this would only come up if you tried to sue someone. \n\nIn the US, if you sue, you have to register to sue. If you don't register until after the violation, you aren't entitled to "statutory damages and attorneys' fees", only "actual damages".\n\nAll of the information you need can be found in ONE book (which is considered to be the “bible” of the recording industry. It is called: “This Business of Music” by Krasilovsky & Shemel and published by “Billboard Books”. You can find it here at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index%3Dstripbooks%26field-keywords%3Dthis%20business%20of%20music%26results-process%3Ddefault%26dispatch%3Dsearch/ref%3Dpd%5Fsl%5Faw%5Ftops-1%5Fstripbooks%5F4345336%5F2/102-1151058-1207346 or at any major bookstore. \n\nThis book includes “all” possible information regarding the record industry (contracts and all) in great detail. This book is not a: “how to” but rather a: “what is”. I seriously recommend this specific book. It may be a bit difficult to understand at first, but it DOES encompass “all”. \n\nI hope that answers some of your questions.

Look into Natl. Musicians refferal, or through a local entertainment lawyer. Any artist management refferal. Look in the Yellow pages under Music, Musicians,..representation..etc.

Why not make your own songs? If you need a beat, e-mail me.

Just check local papers or guitar shops may have a bulletin board.  Often, local city papers that're more "indie" have musician want ads. for ex. in NYC, you see dozens in "The Village Voice")

Chances are that it'll be illegal if you aqquire the music for free. Don't try it unless you know the artist has allowed the song to be distributed for free over the internet, otherwise you could face legal charges.

Go to ebay and see what similar PCs are going for.  Consider the money you spent on your songs a lost, unless you can burn them to keep or sell locally.

You just directly look for which music production company the artist's songs were sold in your country, is it IMG or Sony or BMG or other company?. Then find the company's name and contacts and then ask them how can you buy the copyright? There are a certain fee and taxes that you should pay for that.
