Very few books merit the noun 'bible', this is one...,

This review is from: All You Need to Know About the Music Business (Paperback)
As an independent label-owner the murky and confusing world of 'cross-collateralization', 'controlled composition' and 'mechanical royalties' has perplexed me for years. Finding your way through the minefield that is the 'music industry' is a difficult task which requires patience, a willingness to ask questions and, perhaps most importantly, the stubborness not to give up. What if there were a book that could guide you through this maze of complexity?Passman's book is that guide. It explains everything you need to know in easy-to-understand English in an often humorous tone. Clearly unravelling often complex concepts, Passman takes a step-by-step approach through every aspect of the music business covering everything from royalties (How much will I get paid?) to rights (Who owns the recording?) in a manner that leaves no room for doubt. Buy this book, it will help you make sense of one of the most jargon-filled industries in the world, you'll enjoy reading it and you'll find yourself returning to it again and again.

A valuable resource, can't recommend it highly enough.,
This review is from: All You Need to Know About the Music Business (Paperback)
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,
This review is from: All You Need to Know About the Music Business (Paperback)
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 howyou 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.
