Not sure if it's what you're looking for but My Magpie Eyes Are Hungry for the Prize : The Story of Creation Records by David Cavanagh is a good one.

It starts right from the beginning starting out as a tiny label to being a cult indie label in the late 80s , to being made bankrupt waiting years for MBV & Primal Scream to finish Loveless & Screamadelica , and then onto becoming mainstream with Oasis , Primal Scream & others in the mid 90s , right to the end with their buy out from Sony and it's collapse.
It might only be about one record label but it really gives you a good picture of the climate & the music scene they were involved with at the time.
