Clear, comprehensive, practical, helpful, and pretty darn funny, this book lays out in detail the ins-and-outs of the music business. It's got sample contracts, interviews with pros, and solid advice throughout. If you're in a band, a songwriter, or want to get into management, you should have this book tattooed to your brain before you sign something that turns your music career into nothing more than disaster fodder for VH1.

A great place for anyone to research the music industry. The book has clear, clever and concise interviews with heavy hitters and good sample contracts. A must for anyone starting out in music.

Exactly what I ordered, in great condition. I didn't have to wait forever for the book.

Having trouble with understanding the contracts that are required for successful entry into the music industry? In a tight spot with those late contracts? Don't worry this guide is here to help you, with real life examples and an extensive collection of templates for business contracts, each explained in the tiniest of detail. don't miss this 2-in-one book, a title that combines clear examples, good theory and an easy structure into a mega bundle that will help you sleep without worries at night

Coming from a record label's perspective, this book is absolutely a must-read for anyone in a band, whether a beginner or a seasoned veteran. I like how the contracts are picked apart and rewritten in layman's terms; it clearly explains what a band is in for. I recommend it to any band we work with BEFORE we give them a contract!

The author is concise, articulate, yet completely unassuming and, dare I say amusing, while driving home the reality of the industry. I cannot thank him enough! I just wish more bands would read this work before filling their heads with unrealistic expectations! It would save a lot of problems down the road.
