Why would I want to do that?
I have no idea. I didn't say you or anyone else would want to do it. Just that
it might be possible.
However, on a quick thought now, perhaps because private individuals do not
kick in enough and commercial interests (perhaps non-standard music ones)
will while still not getting in the way of what you are trying to do. Say the
corner grocer wants to be a patron at a lever which will get his store
mentioned on the album? (Pick a business that you like and support if you
don't like your or have a corner grocer.)
all the best,
