Other Artists
Unlike Swan Song Records, Purple Records or Apple Records, the vanity labels of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and The Beatles respectively, Rolling Stones Records never made much of an effort to sign outside artists. Kracker, a Cuban rock group produced by Rolling Stones' producer, Jimmy Miller, was the first outside act to be signed to Rolling Stones Records in 1973. Kracker, along with Billy Preston, opened the show for the Stones during their 1973 European Tour.
