 | They seem to be signed to both Sony and Mushroom Music Publishing.
What's going on here ?

Sony Music is a label. Labels pay for and release records.
Mushroom Publishing is a publisher. They administer the performing rights
to the band's songs, but they don't release records.
(Actually, technically SFK are signed to Murmur, a subsidiary label of
Sony's - though 100% owned by them :)

Hi Anthony,
Something you might be able to tell me - how come bands record on
different labels in different countries? There seems to be an abundance
of artists who release on either Elektra, Atlantic or Reprise in the
States (all distributed by Warner here), the Universal labels (Polydor
etc) in Europe, and independent or other labels elsewhere. One
particular artist releases on all of the big four depending on which
country you look at! Why not just stick with the one?
Also, for ones that stick with the same one, why do they have different
release numbers in different countries for what looks to be the same
tracklist? Considering they can do (I'll take a Sony number for an
example) 495991.2, .6 or .9 for example, why do they have a different
number for European, Australian and British releases, and for US
releases? (The US ones have a completely different format, something
like 49K-58829.)
It just seems like a waste of money to me :D
