All
You Need to Know About the Music Business
by Donald S. Passman, Randy Glass (Illustrator)
Our band is about to get beyond the local scene and start wrestling
with the industry for record deals and national tours, so I practically
jumped out of my skin when I finally found this book. It completely demystifies
the workings of the entire music industry--in a musician-friendly way.
A tiny, selfish neuron in me hesitated for a moment about telling the world
of this book--but hey, we musicians are all in this together. If everyone
negotiating with record companies read and used this book, we'd collectively
be better able to get the sort of financial rewards our art deserves.
Each and every chapter is full of wisdom, humor, and support, written
by an actively practicing Harvard Law grad who has also been teaching music
law at UCLA (a stone's throw from the heart of darkness) since 1978. Amazon.com
