| yeahTony, I know what u mean... And it's sometimes hard to press the Majors for payment without souring things a bit-hence the 'major label price' for the waiting..
I produced 3 songs on a XXX (major label that starts with 'E' last December--the album's out but I haven't received payment. All I can do is wait since the A&r is a very powerful guy and I get work from him alot---just that payment is always delayed.
As for the post about upfront percentage and interest---well, let's just say that won't work with majors--penalty interest added to late payment...good luck in having that work.
We're in a 'people-oriented' industry and the best way to get lots of work is to overlook certain things and come across as a very easy person to work with.
Or get a manager and he can be the 'bad guy'.
All of the above=IMHO and YMMV.
