	Recording contract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A recording contract (commonly called a record deal) is a legal agreement between a record label and a recording artist (or group), where the artist makes a record (or series of records) for the label to sell and promote.
		Recording artists signed to a failed label can find themselves in limbo, unable to record for anyone but a company that is out of business (and thus cannot sell or distribute their records), and with their existing works unavailable for sale.
		Record companies generally insist on signing the band "joint and severally"; this means that instead of the group being signed to the contract as a single entity, each member of the band is signed individually.

	SimplytheBest Music Guide Do's and Don'ts for a record deal
		Never record a song unless wholly written by you unless (a) you are sure you will be able to get a mechanical license in respect of it and (b) you're satisfied the song is original and is not obscene or defamatory.
		Whenever someone is going to record your performance there should be a written agreement confirming that they will not use the recording in breach of the rights of the record company.
		Remember that every recording and video made during the term of your record agreement will probably belong to your record company and so if you film or record ten concerts then that will be 10 free videos and ten live albums that the record company would own.

		The days of record impresarios like Phil Spector discovering a group, taking them into the studio and making them famous overnight are long gone.

	Vocalist - How to get a Record Deal
		The main purpose of a deal is to give the record/production company rights to use or sell recordings of the artists performances which would then be licensed to the record company by the artist.
		A songwriter signs to a Publishing Company who would deal with the sale of their songs and not the recordings, whereas the record company licences the right to record the song from the songwriter or publisher.
		This has left many talented musicians out of pocket with no control of their recordings, tied into a contract with a company who no longer has an interest in their material but retains all the copyrights until the artists debt is repaid.
