BUT, the "record deals" often were so bad that they didn't have to hide anything they just structured them in a way that wasn't very advantageous to the artist and Pay to Play and access to distribution channels meant you you didn't have a lot of other options. Some tried to work around the system but you probably have never heard of them. A good example that comes to mind is Greg Sage of the Wipers. Youth Of America - The Wipers (1981)
