  1. Y'all need to get a clue. Go to the U.S. Copyright Office website AND READ. You should register online. And as long as the claimants are the same for the recording and the song, you want to register the SOUND RECORDING (SR) because it's broader than registering under Performance Arts (PA). As long as it's the same claimant(s) who's registering both, using SR you can simultaneously register BOTH the underlying musical work (which is what PA registers) AND you can register the sound recording. If the copyright claimants to the song and recording are not identical (e.g., you had others making original contributions to the recording of the song) then you will have to use PA to register the underlying song and if you want to also register the recording, you'll have to separately register that using SR. Given that your album sound recordings are finished, final products that you want to sell, you'd be foolish not to register the recordings, and you'd be really foolish not to do so within 3 months of publication to secure all the benefits of prompt registration under the Copyright Act.
