Elvis ' now out of contract'
Besides performing with the Imposters , in a recent Los Angeles radio interview Elvis gave a long interview. Besides a lot of TDM stories that he has been telling lately he had some new things to tell.
He believes that the days of a stand-alone album release are just about up. In future most recordings will be available via the 'net etc. Record companies'
main role will be similar to that of a film producer ie. merely financing a recording to be licensed to other mediums. Or maybe a download site will be the
primary financer of a recording. Whatever - he would still record , just the way would get it was going to be different.
He then said (38.40) that it was of little concern to him because he is now out of contract. He doesn't mind ; his latest record company (Universal) was once owned by a French sewarage company ( Vivendi). When a recording was a commodity equalled to water that was 'a big mistake'. All the same he thinks that his current label - Lost Highway- are doing a great job , despite the circumstances.
