Sounds like they were dazzled by $1.7 million. Unless they get royalties for the next 6 albums that really isn’t very much money. If they hit the concert circuit that should be where they make the money. Hopefully they get a good manager and keep their lives straight.
As Pink Floyd mused “Welcome to the machine.”
I read the details... Basically they get a 60K advance for one album, and have to sell 250,000 copies to receive any royalties. Sony has options to release subsequent albums at various budget levels that add up to 1.7 million if all 6 albimsbare released.. In short, the press release is a publicity stunt.
Exactly. They should have watched the “History of the Eagles” and learned how the music business is all for the record label and not for the artist. But it was rated TV-MA.
