Starbucks signs Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney’s next studio album will be the first release from Starbucks’ newly formed Hear Music label, a high-profile attempt to bring big-name credibility to the venture.
It will be the former Beatle’s first release on a label other than EMI Records, the company that started releasing the Fab Four’s records in 1962, or one of the affiliates where he’s spent virtually his entire career.
For the record:
12:00 a.m. March 23, 2007 For The Record
