Buenas,

Interesante reflexión de Robert Fripp sobre Mike Oldfield, Richard Branson y las compañías discográficas.

What is not in doubt is that Mr. Branson’s Virgin empire was founded on Tubular Bells; that Mr. Branson made more money at the time from Mike Oldfield than Mike Oldfield, has more money today than Mike Oldfield, and has always had more money than Mike Oldfield – dating from around the release of Tubular Bells.

It is interesting that management & record companies always seem to make more money than the artists whose interests they, nominally, represent. The argument that some artists do well may be true; in which case, look at the distribution of income between artist and management, record company, publisher & agency, and then decide who has done well.
