The Gist
 
Band signs record deal; signing execs get sacked; new management not interested; end of story.
But wait, the label's promotion dept. didn't get the memo. They deliver the band's new single to BBC Radio One along with the week's other new releases. No harm in that. Except that, while driving back to the label's office the promotion staff are stunned to hear the band's single is already resounding throughout the continent from BBC Radio One!
Panic Time! No records in the store. No promotions planned. Heavy airplay on Britain's only continental radio station!
A tour of England and Scotland in support of Big Country on their "Seer" tour shows the band to be winning over the U. K. audiences.
