Answers:
DO NOT sign it without FIRST taking it to your OWN attorney. Period.
Also, ask who owns the intellectual property. IT SHOULD BE YOU, and not anyone else.
I have a LOT of experience with this, and you should NEVER sign a recording contract without first taking it to your own attorney. If the recording company objects to you doing this, then you do NOT want to sign with them.

I agree with the first answerer about making sure you consult your own attorney.

Also, considering the current atmosphere of the recording industry and the RIAA (the issue of lawsuits), I would seek a label which is NOT affiliated with that association.
