McCartney Signs With Starbucks
SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Paul McCartney was introduced Wednesday as the first artist signed to Starbucks Corp.'s new record label.
The former Beatle made an appearance via a video feed from London at the company's annual meeting. The world's largest specialty coffee retailer announced earlier this month that it was partnering with Concord Music Group to launch the Los Angeles-based Hear Music label. The McCartney announcement is another big step for Seattle-based Starbucks' attempts to spin part of its consumer appeal into the entertainment business. The coffeehouse chain already has produced and sold some albums, markets books, and helped develop a feature-length movie. Hear Music has been used as a brand on other releases developed for sale in Starbucks stores. The coffee giant also has a branded page on Apple Inc.'s iTunes digital music store, and a handful of hybrid music-and-coffee stores that allow customers to burn tracks to CDs. Concord, which controls several other labels, helped Starbucks sell the Grammy-winning "Genius Loves Company," an album of Ray Charles duets. Expected to be released in late 2007, McCartney's first album for the coffee giant, entitled "Wake Up And Smell The Coffee," is rumored to include the songs, "The Grind," "It Wouldn't Be Morning Without You," "Latte Lady," and "You Keep Me Up All Night."

The first 95% of it isn't.

Yeah, I saw this earlier. I'm sure it'll ensure that a bunch of old coffee hipsters will buy his CD. Nothing more.
