Never before has there been a simpler way to design music business contracts. Now you can have custom contracts ASAP, withought the expensive cost of a lawyer. This collection of music contracts contains a variety including artist/management contract, artist/producer development agreement, joint ownership, agent agreements, copyright release, entertainment contract, performing rights, logs, distribution contracts, standard popular song contract, copyright assignment, and many more. ONE HUNDRED AND ONE IN ALL!! You can even order then on a 3.5" floppy disk formatted in Microsoft Word and Word Perfect (for IBM/PC Compatible) along with hard copies that come in a in a 3-ring binder. This is a good as it gets ladies and gents!!! you WILL love this Item, just as I do

5.0 out of 5 stars A reader from New York, July 6, 2001

A friend of mine in the entertainment business gave me "One Hundred & One (101) Music Business Contracts" as an early Christmas present when I told him I was thinking of handling my cousin's band. There are other contract books on the "music industry" but this one gives you everything you need to...get things done right...from the start. Williams knows his stuff particularly contracts and rights. Even if you are contemplating a career in the music business, get this book, it's worth every penny! It will save me thousands of dollars in lawyer fees and i'll tell you I have never been able to find all these forms without having to run all over town. So please get these if you are in the record business or just starting out. You won't be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy This, May 14, 2009

This review is from: 101 Music Business Contracts (Ring-bound)

I highly recommend against buying this "book." It actually is a couple of hundred photocopied pages stuck in a cheap notebook. The form that I attempted to use for a new record company was poorly written. In fact, the first paragraph is one sentence which was not a complete sentence, which stated in part "This RECORD COMPANY hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement")"

There are no commentaries and, unless you absolutely know what you are doing and why, this is not very useful, especially in such complicated areas as exist in the music business. For the price, it would be better to go to your local law library and check out the Matthew Bender Entertainment Contracts, which have extensive commentaries and optional paragraphs. I am quite disappointed in this and have returned it.
