Troubled
popstar
Amy
Winehouse's
label
Island
Record
is
so
desperate
to
make
her
latest
album
a
hit
that
they
have
booked
three
studios
at
the
same
time.
The
label
has
blown
a
whopping
150,000
pounds
in
hiring
the
studios
at
north,
east
and
west
London.
"Amy's
next
record
is
one
of
the
most
eagerly
anticipated
in
pop
music
so
the
record
label
isn't
taking
any
chances," the
Mirror
quoted
a
source,
as
saying.
"Although
there
have
been
some
recording
sessions
and
she
has
played
some
songs
to
the
head
of
the
record
company,
there
is
still
no
sign
of
the
album,"
the
source
added.
This
could
be
the
first
time
a
label
has
block-booked
different
studios
for
the
same
artist.
"Sadly
Amy
doesn't
have
a
great
track
record
in
terms
of
reliability
she's
been
known
to
pull
out
of
gigs.
But
she
does
like
an
all-night
bender
so
by
booking
three
different
venues,
at
least
the
record
label
are
assured
on
the
law
of
averages
that
she'll
turn
up
in
one
of
them,"
a
source
said.
"It's
a
pretty
unprecedented
move
rehearsal
spaces
packed
with
professional
gear
and
sound
equipment
do
not
come
cheap,
costing
up
to
1,000
pounds
a
day,"
the
source
added.
