Customer Reviews

A valuable resource, can't recommend it highly enough.
This book has been invaluable in my study of the music business. It's easy to digest, thanks to the author's light-hearted and good-humoured approach, to even the most complex of issues. Things are broken down into easy-to-understand sections, and you are given the option of covering the basics and moving on, or exploring issues in a greater depth with extended reading sections. This book is a must for anyone studying music, or interested in becoming successful in any of the four key theatres of the industry.

The most informative book I've read
I've read quite a few books on the music industry but this is the only one which actually gives an in depth knowledge of how
you approach the business. It caters for both U.S. and U.K. citizens so nothings mixed up and the invaluable advice given by
donald passman isn't wrapped up in complex jargon.

essential know how
Good for those wanting to work in music business, however not so good if you want to know about the business/management side i.e setting up/working in/managing a record label.

but still very useful and helpful know how for music biz wannabes :)
