Gord has frequently said that he "wrote through his contract". A Painter Passing Through was the final album of the number agreed in the contract (I think five, but I'm not sure). As far as I know, he has not signed with anyone else. Normally, recordings remain the property of the record label.
Yeah, what she said <insert big grin here>.
It's like Gord's work for UA. The SUNDAY CONCERT album was put together to satisfy his contractual obligations to them (and they've been milking those songs in umpty million variations ever since.)
I think he had a somewhat better relationship with Warners/Reprise, at least early on. However, given the sh**ty way artists are treated by all the major labels these days, I wonder if he wouldn't be better off putting out the music under his own label, as long as he can arrange the necessary distribution sources, including direct to buyers via website ordering (hello, EMP??)
