Changes

'''TVT Records''' (Television Tunes) is the independent record label that [[Trent Reznor]] initally initially signed a seven album record deal [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7089858/] with to release in 1989. They released ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' and its accompanying singles, as well as ''[[Broken]]'' and its remix EP, ''[[Fixed]]''. The label was founded by Steve Gottlieb in 1985.

Reznor became engaged in several disputes with TVT records which resulted in the secret recording of the angst-filled ''Broken'' EP. The label forced Reznor to work with producers he did not want to work with (specifically John Fryer, whom Reznor didn't get along with) and released ''[[Down In It (halo)|Down In It]]'' as [[Nine Inch Nails|NIN]]'s first commercial single. The version of "Down In It" which appeared on the album was not the completed version Reznor wanted on it but a remix done by [[Adrian Sherwood]] and Keith LeBlanc, two of the producers involved with ''Pretty Hate Machine'', which also appeared on the single. Reznor has also stated in interviews that the record label Steve Gottlieb called ''Pretty Hate Machine'' a "complete abortion" and paid little attention to NIN until the band started getting popular.

On the remastered version of ''Pretty Hate Machine'', which NIN released in December 2010, the words "fuck you. steve gottleib gottlieb and tvt" appear before after the words "thank you. chris vrenna, bart koster, ross rosen, michael patterson, bicycle"

In April 2010, the rights to the TVT catalog library of pre-1994 master recordings were acquired by Bicycle Music Group. A remastered version of ''Pretty Hate Machine'' was released and digital versions of its singles were put back into print once again.
