canny booklet - By: snedz, 21 Jan 2008 
this is an okay little book. filled with info. It could have been explained a little more straight forwardin areas such as cantracts etc. but apart from that... oh & it could have stuffed lots of contact detailsin 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 - By: Greg, 24 Dec 2006 
this book is great if you really dont have any idea about starting a label. it explains each step you should takein order to set up a successul label, & also some steps you should avoid. the writer clearly knows what works & what doesnt.
it also educates you on some must-know information, such as copywright & royalties. BUT it doesnt make it confusing at all & lets you know where you stand.
it also makes the thought of starting a label less daunting.
again, if yourin 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 - By: , 21 Feb 2006 I thought this book was amazing, I've just recently started my own independant label, & 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 & 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, & 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, & how to gain progressin a newely starting independant label.
Informative - By: , 20 Jan 2006 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 workingin the industry it is a very important part of the industry & particuarly important from a label side. A good read for more than basic information.
