The key question IMO is what can this company really do for you. Do they
have a track record? Have they successfully sold alot of CD's for other
acts? Have they placed tracks in movies and on tv & radio? I think it's a
little suspicious that they are willing to put their resources toward an act
that has never even met each other yet.

My major question: Does this deal seem shady or subpar in comparison
with the "normal" sort of contract extended to new artists? I thought
that a record deal meant that the label pays for recording!

So you pay to record the music and duplicate the CD's, all out of pocket.
He gets to recoup all of his expenses (no out of pocket) before you two
split the remaining funds 60/40.

Sounds better than the typical recording contract to me...
