(Book). Music publishing is one of the most complex parts of the music business, and yet it can be the most lucrative area of income for musicians. Expert and industry veteran Randall Wixen has adapted this edition of The Plain and Simple Guide to Music for the UK marketplace. It is written for the lay musician/songwriter but contains enough substance to be worthwhile for those already holding positions within the business. Topics covered include everything from mechanical, performing, and synchronisation rights to sub-publishing, foreign rights, copyright basics, types of publishing deals, advice on representation, Neighbouring Rights and more.
