Just for reference, e.g., as to formatting and as to the process of compiling liner notes, here are the PermaThreads for the liner notes I put together for the earlier set of Blue Plate Special Mudcat CDs:

Mudcat CD: Strawberry liner notes



OK, that's just a link to one of those PermaThreads. If you open that one, the links to the others are given at the top of the thread.







BTW, it took forever to get all the info on all the songs on those CDs (partly because some who submitted songs hardly ever check in here), and some info is still missing.
That's why I think it's a good idea to require EVERY SONG that is submitted for the new CDs to also have the standard credits, etc., submitted with it, and preferably all in the same format - e.g., as VirginiaTam suggested above.


E.g., for the Christmas song I submitted, the title & credits would look like this:

"RAISE YOUR VOICES IN THE SONG (OF PEACE ON EARTH)"
Music & lyrics by R J Pratt © 1993, 1999, 2011
Genie: guitar and vocals
Tammy: vocals
Song arrangement by (Not applicable, since it's an original song)


The other parts of the liner notes, e.g., the full lyrics, my background, website (if any), etc. might be in a different part of the liner notes, depending on how thick a liner notes booklet we want to include inside the CD case.   It might be preferable to make the longer details available online for people to print out as they choose. It can be difficult to cram full lyric sheets & background info on performers & songs into a jewel-case-size liner booklet, especially if the CD has about 20 songs on it.
