There are special guidelines that apply to artwork for tribute and karaoke albums specifically. Read below to make sure your tribute or karaoke album art follows these rules:
Tribute Albums:
- The performing artist name cannot include the original artist name (e.g., The Beatles Tribute Band, etc).
- The release title should not start with the original artist name (e.g., The Beatles: A Metal Tribute, etc). The original artist name can appear later on in the release title (e.g., Help: A Metal Tribute to the Beatles, etc), however this does not apply to singles (see below).
- The track titles cannot include references to the original artist name or others such as: "As Made Famous By…," "Originally Performed By…," "In the Style of…," etc.
Karaoke
- The word "karaoke" must appear as large as, or larger than, the original artist name.
- The word "karaoke" must not be used as the artist name on its own, but can be incorporated into an artist name (e.g., The Karaoke Superstars, etc.)
- The title of karaoke tracks must indicate that there are no leading vocals on the track. For example, "Karaoke Version," "Instrumental Version" - this should appear after the track title in parenthesis. For example, "Track Title (Karaoke Version)."
