TORONTO, March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gold Entertainment
Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets: GEGP). Following yesterday's major press
release on the launch of its music label in conjunction with
Reggae.com, Gold Entertainment has established a foothold in the
burgeoning indie (independent) music label business. The
independent record label industry captures 30% of all music sold
globally, with the rest from the four majors -- Vivendi's Universal
Music, Sony BMG, EMI Group, and Warner Music Group, according to
information released at the annual MidemNet music conference in
France this past January. The global music market is between $40 to
$48 billion, industry reports differ in the exact amount of sales,
30% of that global music market belongs to indie labels or $12 to
$16 billion in annual sales. Indie labels now account for more than
900 million units annually. "Yesterday's announcement will be the
first of many moves to launch a series of music venues for new and
emerging talent, and will be a springboard toward rapid revenue
growth," stated Brian Stetten, President and CEO of Gold
Entertainment Group, Inc. This does not take into account the
digital downloads of single songs, which have exploded over the
last few years with the popularity of MP3 players and the Apple
iPod. In 2004 Internet sales only accounted for 6% of music sales.
Artist signed by a major record label earns approximately $1 per
copy sold, whereas an artist signed by an indie record label may
earn as much as $5 per copy sold. About Gold Entertainment Gold
