Completely revised and expanded, What They'll Never Tell You About the Music Business reflects the realities of today's music industry and remains a must-have for music-lovers, songwriters, and record executives alike.

In this comprehensive yet extremely readable book, author Peter M. Thall, a specialist in entertainment and copyright law, takes an in-depth look at all facets of the music industry.

From how artists can best maximize their chances for long-term financial health to what snares and pitfalls to avoid when signing an employment contract, Thall discloses the hidden dynamics and unfortunate consequences of what really happens when a deal is prepared, contracts are signed, and promises are made.
