Ryan, I printed it, read it, and totally enjoyed it. Never knew he worked on "My Boy Lollipop"! A lot of interesting stuff. Many thanks, good call.

Very interesting indeed - the details about the business relationship with U2 are nothing short of of stunning..
I think the days of this kind of self made record man are a thing of the past eg: someone who, with the neccessary business sense, intuition, golden ears, timing, luck etc could build up tiny label into a huge international operation... Think Island, A&M, Atlantic, Motown etc... I just can't picture that happening anymore..
