Taken from the Wall Street Journal: “Anti-Flag has become the unlikely subject of a furious bidding war, with offers in excess of $500,000 for a single album, says its lawyer, Anita Rivas. Since May, executives from Time Warner Inc.’s Sire Records, Sony Corp. and Bertelsmann AG’s Columbia Records and RCA Records and Vivendi Universal SA’s Geffen Records have been courting the band, in one case flying to Europe to meet the band on tour. Today the band is scheduled to meet with top brass at RCA and Columbia in New York.”
