And that’s before we even get into “cowriter” credits for label execs, who ended up with half the publishing. If the band wanted out of their deal, they could buy their way out… for the other half the publishing.

I don’t think any of the artists who recorded for Chess ever got anything out of it beyond maybe some share of ticket sales. Maybe. Half the initial inductees to the R&R Hall of Fame ended up homeless and/or starving and/or living out their final days in some charity ward.
