5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluble insight to the music business , buy it!, 30 Mar 2001
By A Customer
When I originally purchased this book, I wasn't expecting much from it at all. But once I began reading, I was blown away. Moses Avalon brings us behind the scenes of the record industry and exposes the hidden flaws, shams, pitfalls and rip-offs in the industry. More than that, he gives case studies and solid (sometimes) sneaky survival tips.This book is terrifyingly addictive and a wealth of information is avalible on every page. For any aspiring musician or anyone interested in the music business, this is a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's nastier than you'd think, 1 Jun 2001
By A Customer
A real harsh view of the music industry, enough to put anyone off even trying. However this kindof perspective is essential to anyone silly enough to want to get into the biz.
