With all the books on the Music Industry out there written by so called experts, its quite a shock to purchase one that actually tells us would be Indie CEO’s, label owners, Artists, Managers and marketers the real deal.
I found this book to be overwhelmingly informative. ANYTHING you need to know about releasing, distributing and promoting your titles - its in this book! The book is my new Indie Bible, the exact manual for understanding how things get done, and most importantly - HOW TO ACTUALLY DO THEM!! You gotta have it.
Kudos to the Authors, this book is worth PLATINUM!

Listen, distribution is hard to come by for unknown Indie acts. This book breaks it all down and details each element. What’s much more valuable is that the writers also tell you step for step just what to do to achieve distribution. Building a “story” for your release, generating consumer demand, marketing strategies, radio campaigns, etc… it goes on & on & on!
The writers truly want you to get your release on to store shelves, reading this book, I truly felt that. Ex., No books ever discuss “retail promotion”, Brae and Russell not only discuss it, they breakdown exactly what to do to get product placement at retail, dealing with the retail buyers and reps.
For 150 pages, these guys packed a tremendous amount of truly useful knowledge all written in a conversational type flow. Chapter 11, Russell’s marketing chapter just blew me away, really made me realize how little I knew about marketing music!
Excellent book. If you’re an Indie with product sitting in your garage and no distribution and you wish to remedy that; read this book. If you’re running your own little consignment operation and want to move up to mainstream distribution; read this book. If your an Indie period; read this book!
