canny booklet (0/0 people found this helpful)

this is an okay little book. filled with info. It could have been explained a little more straight forward in areas such as cantracts etc. but apart from that... oh & it could have stuffed lots of contact details in it such as vinyl brokers etc. but apart from that its an essential peice of kit. Best of a big bunch.

very clear and helpful (6/6 people found this helpful)

this book is great if you really dont have any idea about starting a label. it explains each step you should take in order to set up a successul label, and also some steps you should avoid. the writer clearly knows what works and what doesnt.

it also educates you on some must-know information, such as copywright and royalties. BUT it doesnt make it confusing at all and lets you know where you stand.

it also makes the thought of starting a label less daunting.

again, if your in the UK then alot of this book is based on the US laws, but it can be worked around. the fundamental info it offers is invaluable.

Brilliant (8/8 people found this helpful)

I thought this book was amazing, I've just recently started my own independant label, and this is great for telling me exactly what i need to start. Although, it would be good to find a UK book like this, as this book does not mention stuff like PRS MCPS and copyright for the UK. It does mention however a lot of US information. But the book is still useful. It also goes into details about contracts, and where to obtain them for cheap prices, which is also another brilliant factor of the book. Overall i would say the book gave me a good introduction understanding of the music business, and how to gain progress in a newely starting independant label.

Informative (7/7 people found this helpful)

I do have to say i wish people from the british side could write a book with this information i have yet to find one. The information here is good, sometimes a bit hard to follow due to being about us music but useful. I will say the author refers to law a great deal but having found out about working in the industry it is a very important part of the industry and particuarly important from a label side. A good read for more than basic information.
