Summary: This Book is no joke
Review: I originally purchased the second addition of this book. It inspired me to Open my own record store back in 1989. The record store, called Locals Only was based on thing I learned from reading the book and using that knowledge. Here we are almost in 2001 and those principles still stand. We operate a website...that has been vibrant since its launch in 1995. This book is a great starting point for anyone serious about making it as an independent artist.

Summary: What a joke!
Review: I read one of the original versions of this book. The updated version just took the word "vinyl" out and copied sections of other books I have been using! (Sweeney, Kashif). Buy the books of these two guys. I have seen results with their books. I couldn't even unload this book at a used book store! they already had other copies.

Summary: This book has helped revolutionize the recording industry.
Review: This book has helped revolutionize the recording industry by providing detailed information about setting up a recording label independent of major label networks. The book starts with chapters on marketing and promotion and deals with the importance of building up niche markets and goes on to include information on how to set up a publishing company, fill out a copyright form, deal with mechanical licenses and sampling clearances; how to make the best use of recording budgets; how to find the best buys for manfacturing, etc. This book has sold more than 150,000 copies since it was first released in 1980. It was last updated in in 1991 and is scheduled to be updated again for released in 1999. It's been called a 'bible for musicians' by many reviewers.
