The origin of TSO

[MikeNY]

That is some interesting reading. The reality of the record business is always like a cold glass of water thrown in your face. It was (and still is, I suppose) such a cold hearted , bottom line, who-ya-know business. Sure makes mincemeat out of the romantic way that it has always been spun. Thank goodness the label reacted as swiftly as they could, demanding a full Christmas album to take advantage of the "hit". Thanks for sharing that.
