McCartney signs with independent record label

Paul McCartney has signed a contract with independent label Concord Music Group.

The former Beatles star has agreed to reissue his back catalogue of solo and Wings material through the label – which released his 2007 LP ‘Memory Almost Full’ and 2009 CD/DVD ‘Good Evening New York City’ in partnership with coffee chain Starbucks – in another blow to his former distributor, the struggling EMI group.
