Lesley Sly; The Power & The Passion: A Guide to the Australian Music Industry
Warner Chappel Music ISBN 1 86362 069 9

“So you want to work in the music business.  You may have the passion but have you got the power?  Talent isn't always enough.  Information most often makes the difference between success and failure.  Read this book, arm your inspiration with information and ... perhaps you won't get fooled again!
"The Power and The Passion takes you to the heart of the Australian music industry.  It tells you how it was, how it is and where it's going.  In 1992 this industry was on the brink of a major transition.  A new era.  This book encapsulates that transition.  It is a manifesto for a new outward looking and globally-oriented industry.”  
"In interviews with more than 150 powerbrokers, artists and industry workers the author cuts through folklore, mythology  and glamorous fantasies, and takes you to the real world of music-making in Australia.  It's not just for musicians but for anyone wanting to create a career in any area of the industry.  It covers record companies and publishing, deals, touring and performance, education, management, promotion and publicity, the media, home and pro studios, video clips, copyright, business and legal matters, arts funding and the equipment industry.  There are debates on important issues like censorship, sexism, Australian content on radio and much more; and artists telling their stories about surviving and succeeding both here and overseas.
"This book is about mixing art and money.  Fusing power with passion.  Making extraordinary things happen.  It's about SUCCESS!"
