The Rolling Stones are after a new home for their back-catalogue from 1970 onwards.
The Observer reports that band management is in negotiations with both Warner Music and Universal Music, for the catalogue starting from 'Sticky Fingers' onwards.'Sticky Fingers' was the first album in the Stones owned label Rolling Stones Records. All previous albums, including 'Beggars Banquet' and 'Let It Bleed' were recorded for Decca Records, which is now owned by Universal.
The Warner negotiations are said to be "in a state of advance". However, a deal with Universal would put the Stones catalogue in the one place for the first time.
Mick Jagger is rumored to be unhappy with EMI ever since the company was taken over by Terra Firma. Since then, the company has lost Paul McCartney and Radiohead. Coldplay and Robbie Williams have publicly stated that they could be the next to go.
The Stones recently did a one-off deal with Universal for the soundtrack to their forthcoming movie 'Shine A Light'.
The catalogue is thought to be worth around £3 million to EMI.
