Summary: Impressive Information
Review: Easy to read this book. I already knew some of the information that Moses talks about but the bits that I DIDN'T know were really educational and I'm now reflecting on how best to proceed as he has given lots of food for thought. Moses writes about all the participants in the music business fairly in a non-biased manner and I in fact hope he'll do some sort of sequel?

Summary: 'Master Quality'
Review: I found Moses' advice to apply not only as it relates to the music industry but also as it applies to life day-to-day. I thought I'd give it a try...I experimented with Moses' advice found in Chapter II under the heading "Counteracting The Effects Of The Control Freak." So, at the last unavoidable encounter with the freak/egomaniac I just kept my mouth shut for once and went along with his mindless rationalizations. It worked.... I actually didn't want someone to "Tech Me To The River." (Moses cleverly coined that "sound alike") That book is so factual, as well as funny, no wonder the control freaks are after him. Holy Moses..."master quality."

Summary: Aspiring Recording Artists, This is a Must Read!
Review: I'm only half way through the book at this point, but I must say, if the book ended here, I would not be disappointed. This is an excellent educational and reference guide especially for someone aspiring to be a part of the music business. It is packed with tidbits, very helpful information and insight! He gives it to you straight! I have read a lot of other music industry books, but this book is highly recommended and worth the money, no hands down! This is definitely a keeper!

Summary: Excellent source of info that very few ever speak about
Review: If you are considering entering the music industry or are in it, but would like to know the real deal on how things work, this book is an excellent source of information. The information is a very straight forward account of the good and not so good practises of the industry.

Summary: "THE MOST INFORMATIVE I'VE READ TO DATE"
Review: IF YOU PLAN TO WORK IN THE INDUSTRY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. It describes royaties to artist and how you may not see them. Scams pulled on bands.Items that should be in your contracts. How record companies rip you off. Examples on how songs are stolen. How producers hide money for themselves. Independent labels, Majors and Distribution both Major and Indie. Moses Avalon takes you from the first steps through the entire music industry process and tells you how much money you will have at the end(theorectically). This book is the one you should buy before all others.

Summary: Confessions of a Record Producer
Review: Mr. Avalon writes very well and seems to have a very thorough understanding of the industry with excellent examples to support his perspective. While he provides hard realities, the insightful information is also inspiring. Furthermore, his drole sense of humour made the book very enjoyable; I completed the book in a couple of weeks...impressive considering my work schedule.

Summary: The Real Deal - Highly Recommended
Review: Not only is this book (and it's sequel, "Secrets of Negotiating a Record Contract") the real deal, so is the man who wrote it. I was so impressed by this, his first book that I contacted him as a consultant on a producer/artist agreement I was negotiating (I am a producer). My goal was to come up with something that was actually fair to both parties and Moses got us to that point quickly. His suggestions were works of innovation that surprised and satisfied everyone.I also attended his 2-day seminar which dissects recording contracts. Here he dispelled the many misconceptions I had about record companies and their contracts AND he helped me to understand what is really being said in these contracts (and it's scary!). He is not a lawyer, but one of the most insightful men I've met. Lawyers pay HIM for his advice. He REALLY understands contracts and explain things in a manner no one else seems to be able to do - it must be a sixth sense.. Highly recommended reading. Both his books should be permanent reference books for anyone in the music business. Besides, they're fun reads, unlike most other "how-to" music-biz books.
