Bill,
The way I work with compilations, is that that the artist pay for the
recording of the song, and then I pay for everything else. That is,
mastering, pressing of the CD, artwork, mechanical royalties, promotional
stuff and more. I give some copies of the CD to the artist as thanks for the
contribution. Then the artist can buy CD´s from me for a wholesale price, if
they wish to do so.
Hope that helps. Good luck with your compilation!
