Changes

'''Interscope Records''' is the record label to which [[Nine Inch Nails]] have been were signed to from 1992 to 2007 after a much-publicized feud with [[TVT Records]], the first record label to sign the band. Ultimately TVT entered into a joint venture with Interscope Records that allowed [[Trent Reznor]] to begin releasing NIN albums on his own [[Nothing Records]] imprint, set up with his then manager, [[John Malm]].

Interscope is owned was acquired by Universal Music Groupin 1998, and now operates as one third of UMG's Interscope-Geffen-A&M Records label group. ==Signing Nine Inch Nails==Interscope co-founder Jimmy Iovine first became aware of Nine Inch Nails in 1991, during their meteoric Lollapalooza run. Iovine knew that many competing record labels were eager to sign NIN, and were considering legal litigation routes to help NIN get out of their record deal with TVT, which would be a difficult fight. Iovine took a different tack, and tried to convince TVT owner Steve Gottlieb that it would be in his best interest take on a partner. Every day for almost a year, he would call Gottlieb, Malm, and Ross Rosen (NIN's lawyer) to try to convince them to make a deal. In summer 1992, Gottlieb finally relented, and Interscope assumed NIN's recording contract. While TVT was technically still involved in the contract, they became essentially a silent partner, with no creative control. Reznor, who had not been involved in the negotiations, was extremely wary of this new record label. His fears, however, were allayed after his first meeting with Iovine. Iovine asked him what he needed from the label, and Reznor said he wanted complete creative control from recording all the way through packaging and releasing. Iovine agreed and asked what else he wanted. Reznor asked for a record label that he could use to sign other bands, and thus the [[Nothing Records]] vanity label was born. After the meeting, Reznor presented Interscope with "Broken", which had been recorded in secret to avoid interference from TVT, and that became the first Nine Inch Nails release on Interscope.
