Produktbeschreibung
Music Business Stories - Book One documents the development of the music industry from 1950 to 1985. This comprehensive account underscores the significance of the 45 rpm single, vinyl record albums, and provides a detailed overview of promotion, distribution, marketing, and sales practices during this era. Each chapter presents key moments involving influential artists, their managers, record label executives, and the transformative approaches that shaped the music business. After six decades in the music business, I wanted to share some behind-the-scenes stories of success and failure, and the reasons for both in the music business. These include some of your favorite artists and some you may never have heard of, for good reasons. Behind the glitter of the stage lights, the music business was chaos-equal parts brilliance, madness, and cutthroat deals. Tom was there for it all. At RCA Records, he promoted Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Harry Nilsson. Later, he co-founded labels, signed hit makers like Chic, and revived publishing catalogs still thriving today. In Music Business Stories - Book One (1965-1985), Tom reveals the untold truths: limo deals inked at 3 a.m., road trips gone dangerously off the rails, and backstage comedy that sometimes came with a cost. This isn't a polished history. It's the raw, unfiltered ride through rock 'n' roll's golden age-told by someone who lived it and survived to tell the tale.
