Editorial Reviews

Review
Everything You'd Better Know About the Record Industry is "must" reading for anyone seeking to engage the music business professionally. Everything You'd Better Know About The Record Industry is about how to find success in the music business and how to make money doing it. by answering all the questions -- especially those that the novice wouldn't even know to ask! Included are over 150 pages of contracts and their explanatory notes, information on obtaining recording and publishing deals, understanding how royalties are calculated, choosing the right manager, and what it takes to start your own record company. Comprehensive and comprehensible, this is an urgently recommended addition to the reference shelves of every music department and community library collection. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ARTISTS/WRITERS/PUBLISHERS/PRODUCERS BIBLE!, March 12, 1999
By A Customer
If you read this book you'll have enough to get on your way as an artist not necessarily as a music entrepreneur. Thought the book is week on the independent label start up side, this is a must read wont feel cheated! Kashif presents the infromation in a clear and concise manner, its almost as if you were engaged in conversation with him. It takes you through every step of record contracts, royalties, publishing, production deals, management, and accounting. I find myself reffering to it time and time again!

5.0 out of 5 stars What you better have if you're new to the game, March 18, 2000
By "g-stat" (gstat@earthlink.net) - See all my reviews
This book offers sound advice as well as solid examples of contracts and situations you'll be faced with. It makes a positive yet realistic view of the music biz and puts it all in perspective. It made me feel like I'll be face to face with Kashif one day soon, thanking him for writing this book. Though not a book targeted for a specific field, which does make it handy for all readers, it reveals what to look for in the first place.
