Summary: 'Featuring a who's who of contemporary Australian rock, The Sell-in charts the artistic and commercial struggle behind the breakthrough of Ratcat, The Cruel Sea, Silverchair, Powderfinger, The Living End and their contemporaries, an era when getting gigs to pay the rent was replaced by the need to have hit singles, sell hundreds of thousands of albums and break the lucrative American market.' - back cover.
