I interviewed Will for the Big Takeover nearly four
years ago when the record was re-released on Giant. I
asked him at the time if he thought the whole major
label thing was dicey, this after the whole Geffen
debacle with The Semantics album. But he told me the
deal on the first album was a licensing deal and that
he retained all rights to his masters. Surprises me
that he went with the label whole-hog for the next
one.
He does have a family to support. Maybe the major
label
money looked like a big ol' security blanket. I dunno.
Major labels do have advantages that indies don't. And
certainly vice-versa. Had Will's project been a
priority then the label woulda spent the money to
promote. Suxxess is all relative anyway I suppose.
