Why not go back to this method now that the deal is up? They'd have complete control again and it would be a viable alternative to the road and they could clear out the vaults?!

If problems with the label will occur, they have to sue themselves :-)

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

plus with their own record company no one would give them the $$$$$ in advance to record for them!

but from the vaults, live stuff...what's there to record it's already been done...

They may not own the rights to what is in the vaults

Oh that's a good point!

I miss Rolling Stones Records. It could have been a successful label and multi-media company like Madonna's Maverick.

Rolling Stones Records wasn't a true independant label, really.

they never did have their "own" label or "complete control"

But they've been Out of Control.

I don't think "Rolling Stones Records" ever went out of business....they've always been leasing their stuff to the company...(even in the 60' - Andrew was very wise about this - only problem - Andrew sold the rights to Allen ;-) Stones never recorded on Decca soil ;-)

The Stones started RS records after the late 60s utopian vision of Our Own label had lost its shmmer, i.e. the Beatles' experience w/ Apple & subsequent problems. The Stones (who were talking about forming their own "Mother Earth label circa '69) may have intended to do more with the new label distribution deal via Atlantic in '71, but after a decade together, no longer living in the same country, etc what would they agree on? The Howlin Wolf album w/ the Stones & Clapton came out in some territories on RS, and Brian's Joujouka album...then there was talk of Jimmy Miller's pet fave, Kracker...Bill's albums, then a long time before Peter Tosh in '78 (Wyman wanted Peter Grant...). Jim Carroll was to be on RS in '80, but as I recall when Earl McGrath or someone left the company the project shifted to Atco...And by '84 when they left Atlantic, the label was just a logo it seems.

were any other artists singed to rolling stones records?\

I can see that this question was already answered in the post above this one. It would help if I READ what was in a thread before adding a comment/question.
