please don't buy this book,
By Shot and a beer (chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Releasing an independent record (Paperback)
when i published this edition of "releasing" back in 1997, it was a must-have for indie bands releasing their own music. because so much has changed in the past five years, this book is now totally out-of-date and out-of-print. please do not buy a used copy of this book! the book is mostly contact info for various independent music-related companies, and all of this info is outdated. the web does a much better job at providing this sort of information, so start searching. good luck! -gary hustwit

Caveat Emptor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Releasing An Independent Record 6th Ed. (Paperback)
Unfortunately, the main reference for my first self-released recording. The "information" here may have worked for someone at sometime, but hurt my efforts more than it helped. The contact lists are woefully out-of-date and contain loads of typos (which you only discover when the promo packages you send out for $2 a pop are returned as undeliverable).I urge you to look elsewhere.

Contact lists only decent part of book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Releasing An Independent Record 6th Ed. (Paperback)
I purchased this book for information on a research project thinking it would provide helpful information. Much to my dismay, the only useful pieces of information is a short "to-do" list and a few, mostly unhelpful, contact lists. The commentary in the book is unhelpful and tells you nothing, while leaving you wanting more. Also included is NON-INFORMATIVE information about getting radio airplay seemingly to get you to purchase his book on gaining radio airplay. If it is an uninformed as this book is, I would strongly discourage others from purchasing it.
