Record companies often would give advances and all that shit. Many artists were pre paid for their next couple albums. Hence the shit they produce, they already have the funds.
Everyone is always so quick to blame the record industry for the crappy extra songs, the stupid prices, all of that shit. Hell they used to love giving people royalties on singles sold. (evil agents and contracts aside)
