Why legacy press still matters

Viral fades.
Credibility stays.

It's invitation only

Editorial real estate is the most protected space in the industry. Most people never get a page, no matter how talented.

It's proof, not a post

A post says you're good. A feature proves the industry agrees.

It puts you first in line

In a world full of talent, acclaim decides who gets the opportunity.

Followers can be bought. Views can be boosted. Legacy press is still the credential that counts.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Does legacy press still matter?

More than ever. Anyone can post. Few get published. When everything online can be bought or boosted, a legacy feature is still what people check.

Who is this for?

Artists, creators, brands and founders with a story worth telling.

How is this different from a PR firm?

No retainer. You pay for the feature, not months of pitching.

Do I approve the article?

Yes. You sign off on the final piece before it runs.

Can I reuse the quotes?

Absolutely. They're your words, published by a legacy outlet. Use them in every pitch, press kit, bio and post for your entire career.

How fast does it publish?

Most features go live two weeks to sixty days after approval.

What does it cost?

Placements start at $5,000. We confirm your price before your call.

Placement terms & policiesPlease read before you purchase. Last updated July 2026.

These terms govern all Eclectric Records press placement services. By submitting an inquiry or purchasing a placement, you agree to the policies below. We may update these terms from time to time; changes take effect when posted to this page.

What to Expect

We place features through media relationships built over 30+ years, and we confirm your outlet and story angle with you before you pay. Each outlet keeps final editorial control over what it publishes. We don't promise search engine rankings, social media verification, follower growth, streaming numbers, traffic volume, leads, or sales from any article. Those results may follow, but they depend on factors outside our control.

Publishing Timelines

Most placements publish within two weeks to sixty days of story approval. Some outlets take longer — in certain cases up to six months or more — and Eclectric Records is not liable for outlet-side delays. We'll keep you informed of status throughout.

Outlet Selection & Substitution

We work to place your story in the outlets discussed during your consultation. Media availability changes, and we reserve the right to substitute a comparable outlet within the same tier if a selected outlet becomes unavailable or changes its requirements. This site and Eclectric Records are not affiliated with any of the media outlets we place work in.

Editorial Control & Edits

You grant Eclectric Records and the publishing outlet permission to edit wording, structure, and supporting details as needed to fit the outlet's editorial standards. Outlets will make reasonable effort to use the images you approve, but image use is at the outlet's discretion and cannot be promised. Once an article is published, it cannot be edited — please review all materials carefully before approval. Errors introduced by outlets, publication partners, or client-supplied information are not the responsibility of Eclectric Records.

Article Longevity & Markings

Outlets periodically archive, backdate, or remove older articles to keep their sites current — typically after several months to two years — and we cannot control if or when that happens. Some published articles may carry markings such as "Sponsored," "In Partnership," or "Advertisement," and some links may not be indexed by the host site. These decisions rest with the outlet and cannot be changed, removed, or promised in advance.

Topic Restrictions

Outlets restrict certain topics. Content involving illegal activity, defamation, harassment, or other categories an outlet deems inappropriate will not be accepted. Because placements are non-refundable once in motion, contact us before payment to confirm your topic can be covered.

If an Article Can't Be Published

If a placement cannot be completed, you'll be notified within thirty days and we'll work with you directly on next steps. We work from the information you provide, and our partners work in good faith to publish a feature you're proud of — but final editorial judgment always belongs to the outlet.

Your Content & Our License

You keep ownership of everything you submit — your music, photos, and story remain yours. By submitting materials, you grant Eclectric Records and its publishing partners a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, edit, reproduce, and distribute those materials for the purpose of developing and publishing your placement. Where materials have already been used in a published or commercial piece, the license continues for the life of that piece.

Liability

Our services and materials are provided on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Eclectric Records disclaims all warranties, express or implied, and is not liable for consequential, indirect, or incidental losses arising from the use of our services or from published works — including loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, goodwill, or reputation. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, in which case they may not apply to you.

Privacy & Your Information

Information submitted through our forms is used to evaluate and fulfill your request. We may share it with the service providers and publishing partners needed to complete your placement, and as required by law. To have your information removed from our records, contact TheEclectricRecords@gmail.com. If you are under 18, you must have a parent or guardian's permission to use these services.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee. Any dispute will be resolved through arbitration or mediation as provided by law, in the county where Eclectric Records is located.
