Well, there are 5 main types:
Traditional Exclusive Deal
Licencing Deal
Profit Split Deal
Development Deal
and Production Company Deal
Licencing deals are the best without a doubt.

so whats the norm on what bands or individuals would be offered would it vary with every type of act etc?
or is there with the way the industry is today a standard deal which is drafted up that they use to offer artists. Seeing as the market is alot tougher and artists themselves may be desperate which leaves the label in the driving seat with regards to recouperation of their invest?

There is no norm, thats your problem. Is it for you? A band you're in? Or for research purposes?

'Controlled compositions' can mean different things in different contexts, but it usually means 'works (songs) composed by the party in question'. It is often important in contracts as it defines the amount of material the composer/artist is obliged to provide for a product.
In some territories it is possible for the record label to obtain a royalty discount, dependent upon permission from the publisher, if the artist has 'controlled compositions' on a CD (i.e. tracks where the performing artist and composer is the same person).
Avoid controlled compositions and the clauses at all costs, your royalties will take a sizeable hit.
cheers lad, the funny thing is I did some further checking into controlled compositions.
They dont apply to the UK or anywhere else except for the USA and Canada and they are an industry standard for those territories so theres actually no getting away from them whatsoever.
