A Personal Perspective

Jonathan Wheeldon

Chapter 1 in Patrons, Curators, Inventors and Thieves, 2014, pp 23-28 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This first part of the book is my narrative attempt to make sense of recorded music industry history. It is shaped by my subjective observations and experiences — as an active consumer since the mid-1970s, as a finance professional and industry insider from 1992 to 2007, and aspires towards objectivity through my efforts as a scholar since 2005. It does not claim to be a definitive interpretation, but simply a reference point for critical reflection in subsequent chapters. Before I begin, it is worth asking: what is the point of trying to make historic sense of the music industry?
