Customer Reviews

Vital to those interested...

The book itself is very much more and yet less than you'd think. It takes the ultimately very useful approach of the practicalities involved in "getting a record deal", rather than the sensationalist approaches some others do. This leads to two outcomes... The first is that it is possible to apppoach this potential career with a degree of true professionalism - with knowledge and undertanding of the music industry. Secondly, the book fluctuates between truly boring sections and periods of great help. There is, to be fair, no interesting way to write about the way that solicitors claim thier expenses when dealing with a band. In conclusion - this book is absolutely priceless for anyone interested in "making it" as a band - it's just not exciting as you'd think to read about the cogs that make it go round.
