Recording a cover version (legal requirements)

Trevor O · 2010-03-09 11:11:13

Hey all, Myself and the rest of the guys in our band are planning to release an album later this year. We'd like to include a cover version of a song by one of our favourite artists. Does anyone know what the correct legal route is for this in terms of copyrights etc.? Thanks! :)

From my experience, it's the MCPS who deals with this. They'll send you a simple form, you fill it , and get the license. Easiest way to contact them is via IMRO.
