520    "Let legendary rock manager Simon Napier-Bell take you 
       inside the (dodgy) world of popular music - not just a 
       creative industry, but a business that has made people 
       rich beyond their wildest dreams.  This book describes the
       evolution of the music industry from 1713 - the year 
       parliament granted writers ownership over what they wrote 
       - to today, when a global, 100 billion pound industry is 
       controlled by just three major players: Sony, Universal 
       and Warner. Inside you will uncover some little-known 
       facts about the industry, including: how a formula for 
       writing hit songs in the 1900s helped create 50,000 of the
       best-known songs of all time; how Jewish immigrants and 
       black jazz musicians dancing cheek-to-cheek created a 
       template for all popular music that followed; and how rock
       tours became the biggest, quickest, sleaziest and most 
       profitable ventures the music industry has ever seen.  
       Through it all, Napier-Bell balances seductive anecdotes -
       pulling back the curtain on the gritty and absurd side of 
       the industry - with an insightful exploration of the 
       relationship between creativity and money."--Publisher
