The indispensable resource for anyone in the music business.

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.

    This is an excellent book to read for anyone who is interested in taking that pathway into the music industry. It sets good guidlines for starting a sincere interest in starting a band with business practices. The many contracts that appear in this book certainly shines light on ways to protect yourself legally and get the most out of your musical career. I would highly recommend this book to all individuals who would like to explore this musical venture.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2011
    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.
