NEW YORK Starbucks has long sold compilation CDs, but today took the venture a step further by signing ex-Beatle Paul McCartney to its newly formed music label.
The label, Hear Music, is a joint venture between Starbucks Entertainment and Concord Music Group.
The Seattle-based company held a shareholders meeting at which McCartney appeared via satellite to introduce the label.
Scheduled for summer release, the untitled album from McCartney will be sold at Starbucks as well as music retail stores.
