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.

Doesn't sound like Mick cared much one way or the other. That CAN'T be true!

Pretty pathetic vying for Starbucks label....it did not help them much with ABB or Rarities.

They would have had twice as many sales on either of those CD's. That Taster's Choice CD was a HUGE seller.

Wow McCartney signed for a 1 record deal.

Shit, they have heaps of confidence, eh?
