Sound recording, 1995-96 .: CS87-0008/1996E-PDF

"The Sound Recording Survey questionnaire was revised in 1995-96, following recommendations from the Joint Working Group on Music Industry Statistics. The most significant change is in the collection of new releases and net sales information, where data were collected by Canadian artist, NOT by the CRTC definition of Canadian content. Thus, comparisons should NOT be made between Canadian content and Canadian artist data. Changes have also been made in the reporting of employment, wages and salaries (including benefits). Employee counts and wages in 1995-96 now include both producers and salesmen. Lastly, the revenue question concerning music publishing was reworded from "mechanical royalties (including music publishing, airplay and performing rights fees)" to "publishing royalties (including mechanical royalties)". Survey processes were also changed, resulting in adjustments to the data for companies that did not respond or for item non-response. New companies were also added to the survey frame in 1995-96. For the above reasons, survey data may not be strictly comparable; these tables should not be used for year-to-year trend analysis"--Note to Readers.
