452885
Long associated with EMI, the Rolling Stones have signed an exclusive recording agreement to release their next album â the soundtrack for Martin Scorseseâs documentary concert film âShine a Lightâ â through Universal Music Group, The Associated Press reported. The album is scheduled for March. The announcement prompted speculation that after 16 years the band could part ways with EMI, which has changed ownership and plans to cut as many as 2,000 jobs. Radiohead and Paul McCartney have already left the label. EMI, pointing out that Universal Music is affiliated with Universal Pictures, producers of the film, said its relationship with the Stones would be unaffected.
