Gary Numan chats to I Like Music

ILM: You've been signed to various labels including Beggars Banquet and IRS, the latter held you back refusing to release or fund certain things. What's your advice on getting the right deal?

GARY: That's not easy actually. The problem with record companies is, the people who work for them change constantly. I've had this several times, you get signed by a particular person who's your champion and a few months later he moves and gets a better job and you're left with people who didn't sign you and don't support or even like what you do. Signing to a label is not the answer to everything it's just the beginning of your problem. Most labels will try to reshape you and change your sound. You think you're being signed for what you do and for what you are and for the music that you make. But often they'll sign you because they see something in you that they'd like to have and they try to turn you into that, I can't tell you how much advice I've had from record companies on what I should and shouldn't be doing and you think why the fuck did you sign me. If you want me to do something different, why didn't you just sign someone who does that?
