This is a fucking brilliant interview with a top notch bloke, who just tells it like it is, with lots of full and great details about his first few meetings with 18 or 19 year old Prince, lying to 3 record companies in order to play them off against each other – even though he’d already decided he wanted to get Prince signed to Warner Brothers.
It’s a sad read too, of how managers, and by extension labels, used to bother to NURTURE artists, in a way that they simply don’t do anymore.
