record

It's like a frisbee; but on a turntable, it plays music by passing a needle over grooves. The grooves are actually an image of soundwaves, and the needle moves a magnet inside a coil of wire, which creates a moving electric current. The electric current is shifted to kinetic movement by a speaker, which vibrates and produces the music. Lonely middle-aged men like to listen to vinyls the most, because even millennials are cooler than that, guys.
"Steve, did you hear that Pink Floyd record I was playing?"
"Yeah, nice vinyl."

Record

Something you won't take with you, even if you break one. They're kind of like money in that sense.
Whether it's a vinyl record or a sports/entertainment record, no matter how many you break, you won't take them with you when you're not around any more. Some people like to break records, others disagree that all records are made to be broken, and they try to take care of the records they have while they are still here.

record label

A record label specializes in manufacturing, distributing and promoting audio and video recordings, on various formats.

Major record labels don't care about putting out 'great music'. They only care about making money. That's why they normally focus on signing artists who are eye candy (ie good looks, sexy, good dance moves, dresses nice etc..)

Even though most record labels are out of touch with what most music fans want, they convince their artists that they are in touch with what music fans want. That's why most artists end up being hated by the same music fans who used to love them.

Record labels love to prey on naive artists (who don't know a lot about the music business) because they're easier to milk for everything that they're worth.

Record labels (and their middlemen)usually bribe radio stations to play their artist's songs (i.e. payola).

Most record labels are very corrupt.
If you sign with a major record label without knowing anything about the music business, you're gonna get screwed.

Sometimes it's better to sign with an "independent" record label.

record deal

1. Something to be highly suspicious of

2. Something someone offers to a band in order to steal all their songs, their souls and their will to live and then proceed to make alot of money from it.
1:
Band Person: "Someone offered me a record deal today, I rock"
Band person's friend: "Dude, tear it up and burn it"

Innocent band: "Ooh, yes please. We'll be rich!"
Music Industry Guy: "Mwaahahahahaha! See you in HELL!"
