Praise for It’s One for the Money
‘Heylin has written the definitive book on the intricacies of music publishing’ The Times
’Essential reading for anyone who loves popular music and wants to know the real, complex story of how the music evolved; from the blues to rock, including fascinating, history-revising accounts of who really wrote what. It’s One for the Money is packed with invaluable revelations on virtually every page.’ Robert Hilburn, author of Johnny Cash: The Life
’After reading Clinton Heylin’s century-wide study of musical theft and influence, it’s impossible to distinguish the criminals from the saints. His compelling narrative questions the very notions of authenticity and originality in popular music, and overturns many of the myths on which its history has been built.’
Peter Doggett, author of The Man Who Sold The World: David Bowie And The 1970s
’With customary precision and a fine eye for detail, Heylin lifts the lid off the dustbin of Pop.’
John Perry, author of Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland (33 1/3)
’Heylin digs deep into the recesses of musical history to prove there is (almost) nothing new under the musical sun. An impressive work of research and wry commentary on the song-publishing racket.’ Barney Hoskyns
‘The book is fabulously well researched’ – The Independent
‘Clinton Heylin tells all on the megahits that were pilfered from their owners’ – The Guardian (10 Best feature, July)
‘A convincing slice of alternative history, but also with a terrific guide to the evolution of the popular song… well worth reading’ – New Statesman
‘Meticulous’ – The Sunday Times
’A fascinating story of sometimes blatant theft and the power struggles for "credit" that have been a part of the music "industry" since voices were first raised in song. Heylin examines the highways and byways by which one song is transformed into another across more than a century of popular music, and how infighting over "who wrote what" would have enormous impact on the lifespan of many bands and on the track listings of some of our most revered albums in a bid for a piece of the economic windfall that is publishing royalties.’ Lee Ranaldo, Sonic Youth
