Reznor has also stated that when NIN did Lollapalooza, they had wanted to put the Adam Ant cover ''[[Physical (You're So)]]'' out as a 12 inch, but couldn't because of TVT Records.
While NIN was touring both with Lollapalooza and other bands, relations between Reznor and TVT Records got much worse; TVT had released a ten song EP in the USA for ''[[Head Like A Hole (halo)|Head Like A Hole]]'' which was actually a few minutes longer in length than ''Pretty Hate Machine''. Reznor claimed that he should have received more royalties from the sales of ''Head Like a Hole'' because, according to contract, he should have received payment as though it was an album, not an EP; TVT disagreed. Also working to break down this relationship was TVT's restrictive attitude toward NIN; Reznor wanted more freedom with what he could do with Nine Inch Nails but TVT wanted him to make a specific sound and assign him producers (a problem other bands have also had with the company). Reznor countinued to tour to bring in money without having to make another album for TVT and recorded his next album, ''Broken'', in secret with the personal funds he raised during the first Lollapalooza. He was also going to use that money to get a lawyer that would get him off the label (''"I decided to leave the label at any cost, if that was the end of my career then that was the end of my career."''). He eventually left TVT but the battles took up precious time which, along with touring, caused a lapse of two years between recordings.
Finally, in 1992, Reznor and TVT reached an agreement that allowed NIN to move to a different record label while a small amount made from NIN sales would still go to TVT Records. Reznor signed with [[Interscope Records]], which agreed to give him complete artistic freedom and his own record company within Interscope: [[Nothing Records]].
