I originally purchased the second addition of this book. It inspired me to Open my own record store back in 1989. The record store, called Locals Only was based on thing I learned from reading the book and using that knowledge. Here we are almost in 2001 and those principles still stand. We operate a website...that has been vibrant since its launch in 1995. This book is a great starting point for anyone serious about making it as an independent artist.

I received this book at The Art Institute of Philadelpphia as a text book, while I studied Music and Video Business. Before I entered school, I had always been an artist manager. I learned a lot about the industry over the years. "How To Make And Sell Your Own Recordings" became one of my most important guide books. It helped me to aquire the skills to do everything myself. "How To Make And Sell Your Own Recordings" has a lot of valuable information for any artist manager or independent musician. It helps to ensure that you present yourself in a professional way without the need to hire out.

This book is one that we at nichemarket recommend highly in our Booklist for any Hip Hop Entrepreneur serious about a career in the music industry! --Walt Goodridge, President, Hip Hop Entrepreneur Association

I read one of the original versions of this book. The updated version just took the word "vinyl" out and copied sections of other books I have been using! (Sweeney, Kashif). Buy the books of these two guys. I have seen results with their books. I couldn't even unload this book at a used book store! they already had other copies.

SHANKSPHERE;Im what most would call in the HIP HOP circle [the curb pope].I'm a poet with a cause. I've been rapping and rhyming since clocks been timing ,but for most recent couple of years I,ve decided to get paid for my GOD's given gift of gab.So I found this book to be most informative.
