Glad you are going forward with this process Donna

its a great song....I like the design graphics you have.....

in America we usually specify "Song Demo on front label/CD Label itself/and back plate as well.....this tells-or reminds the A&R guy reviewing it that you are trying to sell the song itself-not hoping they will sign the group....

I myself wouldnt put your whole address on it-your whole address will be on the Self Stamped Envelope you include in the mailing....if you are sending it to London-make sure it has adequate postage...publishers will not pay even if its 5 cents short believe me. same for the SASE for reply from them-you forget to put postage on there- you wont even get a rejection letter.

be sure and put your PRO on all the printing next to your name........if you dont put the PRO they will think you arent with one and therefore a amateur and thats how they will judge the song....so whatever the initials for that Dutch PRO are-put em on there next to your name...the guys who actually wrote music for the song need to have their PRO next to their name as well..........if they were just studio musicians and did what they were told they arent writers and can be listed seperately cause what you want to clearly communicate to the publisher is the names and PRO's of the Writers....

a professional email helps make a good impression-so use the best one you have or create one just for communication with the music industry...WriterDonnaDevine@Hotmail.com-you get the idea...make sure the phone number you give them is either your cell or a number that only you will answer.....they dont have the patience for dealing with third parties............and of course inside the CD case you must have the PRINTED LYRICS for the song....and the lyrics should MATCH EXACTLY whats being sung-word for word.....thats very important.if they are groovin along with the song and reading the lyrics and something or somethings dont quite match they go nuts- when you are of course trying to make them blissfully happy with your wonderful hit song.....these guys listen to so many songs that when they go home they would rather listen to the sound of a washing machine...so everything about what you send them -should sell them.....as much work as you put into all this anyway- proofing the CD printing is no big deal and you do that all the time as a editor/writer anyway...

save full address for the back plate...

on the front and on the CD itself
