"The history of the record industry is an aspect of the general history of the electrical goods industry, and has to be related to the development of radio, the cinema, and television. The new media had a profound effect on the social and economic organization of entertainment so that, for example, the rise of record companies meant the decline of the music publishing and piano-making empires, shifting roles for concert hall owners and live-music promoters."
-- Simon Frith,
"The Industrialization
of Popular Music,"
in Popular Music
and Communication,
James Lull, ed.,
(NY: Sage) 1992, p. 51
