In the Pitchfork interview Morrissey says in reply to a question expecting labels to come to him, "There's not much I can do about it. Once it becomes public that you aren't signed, you assume that anyone who wants you will come and get you. "
Is Morrissey choicy, and only wanting "big" labels who will cater to him.
Aren't there a lot of small labels that would like to have him in to promote their label, but perhaps don't have the big bank account to fulfill all his wants?
Does he expect the label to cover all the recording and producing expenses and the album promotion and take the loss when he doesn't sell well, while he sits well with upfront money?
What reason would he have for not signing with the hypothetical small label?
I have no experience or knowledge of the "business", just inquiring.
