JAGGER: ‘STARBUCKS LABEL BOSSES CAME TO ME FIRST’
Ambitious bosses at coffee chain Starbucks approached SIR MICK JAGGER about signing to their new record label a year before announcing their first big name would be his one-time chart rival SIR PAUL McCARTNEY.
ROLLING STONE Jagger has revealed he met with Starbucks heads regarding a potential deal for his group - but the coffee bosses never got back to him.
He says, "I actually met all the Starbucks people when I went to Seattle and you know we talked about it and they were very nice people.
"They told me they were starting an actual label, but I never heard anything more about it." But Jagger has no hard feelings about McCartney beating him to a place on the Hear Music label roster: "After a hundred years with EMI he has now signed up to Starbucks, so good luck to him." McCartney has signed a one-album deal with the new label.
