Ya know, Leflaw.. I been there, done that!! I was in a room full of suits and lawyers on the upteenth floor of a skyscraper.. I was smart enough to have my own representation at that time.. I'll find the contract that I never signed with Geffen.. but this contract is short to what we were presented with.. they musta thought we had something because they were relentless to cover all details.. including the infamous phrase "works for hire".. and you are presenting the BEST Hyper advice to dmusicites! Get Coffee read through this and UNDERSTAND.. I did, and it saved me years of indentured servitude!! Nodding

It kind of confirms something I once read in a Morrissey interview. It was to the effect of: The music industry isn't looking for smart or clever recording artists, these days. They just want a bunch of young, naive kids who'll sign a contract without making a fuss.

I guess the best contract signing survival kit would be something along the lines of a thick, black, sharpie. :D (Big Grin)
(Maybe even two of them, incase the first one dries up.)

i read the entire thing, id say, question,

(9.01. We will pay or cause you to be paid a royalty computed at the applicable percentage, indicated below, of the applicable Royalty Base Price in respect of Net Sales of Phonograph Records (other than audiovisual Records) consisting entirely of Master Recordings recorded under this agreement during the respective Contract Periods specified below and sold by)

And this one especially this one ...

(a) You and Artist will cooperate with us, as we reasonably request, in making photographs and preparing other materials for use in promoting and publicizing the Artist and the Recordings made under this agreement, at our expense (which shall not be an Advance) and subject to the Artist’s prior professional commitments

there's a lesson in business, and sorry artists - - you have to have a good and sharp business sense to get a "contract" don't count on your lawyer to just represent you without you knowing what it all means - it would be just like giving him your checkbook and dayplanner and saying - go ahead - spend it as you see fit, and plan the rest of my life as well (or some time thereafter). you really have to know music law/business to some degree. inho. peace-----jd

Nodding AGREES WITH PERKIE!! TAKE CLASSES IN BUSINESS, LAW and umm DONT SIGN THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT THE HECK YOU ARE SIGNING!! PROTECT YOURSELVES!!! Nodding Nodding I HAVE SEEN TOO MANY GOOD FRIENDS GET SCREWED BY GETTING PUSHED INTO SIGNING THESE TYPES OF CONTRACTS WITHOUT TAKING THE TIME TO REALLY FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SIGNING!!!!!!!!!
IF THEY REALLY REALLY WANT TO SIGN YOU, ARTISTS??? THEY WILL UNDERSTAND FULLY IF YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO GO OVER EVERY DETAIL OF THE CONTRACT!! IF NOT?? RUNNNNNNNNNNNN!!
THANKS LEFLAW!!! GOOD LESSON HERE!! Nodding Clapping Clue

Please note that after death your soul will still be governed by our contract with Satan as mentioned in section 666 of the above mentioned contract.
