Aimed at would-be pop idols who have the songs and the band but not the know-how, this guide tells you what really happens inside the music business: what exactly a record company does; who the main players are; how the retailers work; and the ins and outs of music publishing. It also explains in detail the murky world of A&R: how young acts attract the attention of an A&R department; what A&R executives look for and what drives them. It tells you who's in charge, how the law works, and how you can get into the charts - all in a simple, jargon-free fashion.
