==Recording==
Working nights at Right Track Studio as a handyman and toilet cleaner, [[Trent Reznor]] used studio "down time" to record and develop his own music. Playing most of the keyboards, drum machines, guitars, and samplers himself, he recorded a demo, unofficially titled ''[[Purest Feeling (song)|Purest Feeling]]''.
Teaming up with manager John A. Malm, Jr. they sent the demo to various record labels. Reznor received serious offers from many of them. He signed a deal with [[TVT Records]] who, until then, were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records.
==Purest Feeling==
Since the album was released, a recording known as ''[[Purest Feeling (song)|Purest Feeling]]'' surfaced. This bootleg album contains the original demo recordings of most of the tracks found on ''Pretty Hate Machine'', as well as a couple that were not used ("[[Purest Feeling (song)|Purest Feeling]]" and "[[Maybe Just Once]]").
