Congrats, hope it works out.

Hope this label doesn't mess you about or screw you over, as many record labels tend to do, even indies sometimes and definately majors (we own the rights to your name, we have the right to make you appear at shopping malls in Pittsburgh and dress up as a chicken and have a custard pie splattered in your face on some terrible kids tv show, we tell you who your friends are and where you can and cannot go, we own all the rights on the recordings, for which you will owe us money and if it doesn't recoup, we will dump you, tar your name so you are untouchable stinky poo and sue you in court. If you're successful, we will release many greatest hits packages which pays our shareholders annual dividend and for which you are entitled to nothing. We own your ass - if we want you to appear on TV in Liechetenstein tomorrow morning, you will be there, your travel will be with the baggage in the luggage hold to save costs. And you[d better be perky and smiling about it, because we OWN your a$$...And if we don't think your material is profitable, we will keep it in a vault and you will have no access to it ever and if that is upsetting, then we couldn't give a monkeys....

Oops, I'm not bitter :o

I'm sure there are lots of bitter stories with labels (I've got several). Let's help minimal be wary of them without stealing thunder of this moment. Getting signed the first time is always a good moment. Enjoy that moment.

Good work!
Now, you should probably have someone who is experienced with music law look over your contract before you sign it.

Good Luck !
