Tom Petty Plans Music Mogul Future

The singer wants to return to the days when bands put out three albums a year.

Rocker Tom Petty is planning to set up his own independent record label because music executives take too long to release his albums.

The singer wants to return to the days when bands like the Beatles put out three albums a year.

He says, "I like the idea of having an independent label because it reminds me of the early days of rock 'n' roll when there were a lot of independent labels, and they were actually driven by people who liked music.

"They were music people, not lawyers or accountants or whatever you have running the music business now."
