Now, I'm no expert on these things or anything, but I'm guessing Elton John isn't overly impressed with the marketing strategy employed by Universal's Mercury and Interscope Records with regard to his most recent album 'The Captain And The Kid'. According to the Daily Mail, this is how he introduced one of the songs off the album at a recent gig in New York: "I'm going to play a song but I'm sure you haven't heard it because the fuckers haven't promoted it. My record label isn't doing anything to help. Nobody would know the album has been out since September. Fuck Universal. They're useless. Here's a message to Universal Records: Please drop me. Just let me go somewhere else".
