No Rock And Roll Fun

MR BROWNE AND MS SMITH CHECK OUT: Jackson Browne has quit Elektra and Patti Smith has switched from the beleagured Arista to Columbia. Browne, especially, seems to be pleased at the end of his old contract - talking about his time with Elektra he claims "it would have been easier to go through the process of finding a new label each time." These would be the record labels who partly justify the cost of recorded music because you're paying for the care they give to recording artists, you'll remember.
