The Single Deal Recording Contract is designed for situations where a record company wishes to release a single recording by an artist without committing to a full album deal. This type of agreement, governed by English and Welsh law, is particularly useful for new artists, special projects, or when testing market potential. The contract typically covers recording specifications, ownership of rights, payment terms, delivery requirements, and exploitation rights. It provides more flexibility than a traditional album deal while maintaining professional standards and legal protections for all parties involved.
