Description

Secondhand.

A cross between Hollywood Babylon and The Hitmen, It's One For The Money rips the lid off Pop's own Pandora box and explicates just what it is that makes the world of sound go round - song publishing.

Reviews

A terrific guide to the evolution of the popular song (Spectator)

[A] meticulous study of music publishing, plagiarism and song ownership (Victoria Segal Sunday Times)

Fascinating stuff, intensively researched and utterly intriguing (Fred Dellar Mojo)

Fabulously well-researched ... it's a story well told, in eye-popping detail (Independent)
