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.

Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“The past is interesting not only for the beauty which the artists for whom it was the present were able to extract from it, but also as past, for its historical value. The same goes for the present. The pleasure which we derive from the representation of the present is due not only to the beauty in which it may be clothed, but also from its essential quality of being present.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
