In the latest Rolling Stone in an article titled: "NIN, Eagles, Pumpkins: Who Needs Labels?":

"...Wal-Mart has since inked similar deals with Journey and Bryan Adams. "When you have established groups, you don't need all the things that a record company would offer: marketing, press, art departments," says Journey manager John Baruck, who works for Eagles manager Irving Azoff. "You just need to get a record out there." Baruck says the band's royalty from Wal-Mart is about four times more than it would get with a typical record deal."

Is this the 2nd RS reference or a duplicate of the other? Same issue?

They were mentioned in the second to last issue in a similar article about Wal-Mart. But it just said that Wal-Mart will be distributing Journey's June 3rd release, Revelation.
