Hmm thats interesting Jet as Norah Jones recorded he last record at home which must mean a serious dip in cost compared to her earlier fancy studio albums. I may be ill informed.

I really hope the Bluenote thing goes well for Holly its a big risk signing a multi-album deal but her manager is pretty on to it and fairly responsible for signing Breaks Co-op to Parlophone I believe so he should be able to weigh up the evils of the different companies.

Its funny this offloading of the majors little sub labels. They often have much better return (in ratio to investment) than the flagship labels/artists and much less risk. I actually think we may see a new era where labels break off from their major chains and go back to the investor indy label scenario that kicked arse in the late fifties. Atlantic being the prime example.

anyway blah de blah... GOOD LUCK HOLLY!
