Music Business Contract Library Book/Online Media Paperback – October 1, 2008
Purchase options and add-ons
Every business arrangement in the music industry comes down to the written agreement between the parties engaged in the project at hand. When you're co-writing with other songwriters or making publishing agreements, recording agreements with independent record labels, or film sync license agreements for music used in TV, film, the Internet and commercials, what is in writing is what ultimately governs the deal with you and your business.
Whether you are the publisher, label, studio, producer, engineer, or artist, The Music Business Contract Library contains over 125 different contract templates and forms that you need, along with Greg's professional experience in commentary on how he has used them and why. This massive library comes with online media, which delivers over 125 forms in fully editable Microsoft Word format for use in your own business.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but focuses mainly on US Industry
Good book. Very good information and the contract templates are good enough to get you going on drafting your own. It's a shame it is very US-centric but I haven't come across another book on this subject that includes a contract library and is UK oriented. Above all, it was great value for money. It sits in my library and I consult it often.
