Budgie were big in the clubs, but struggled to sell albums. It is the reason they recorded a version of I Ain't No Mountain and later attempted a West Coast sound, in order to break into the US market. Neither worked in the way they hoped. I read in Classic Rock magazine that Tony Bourge became a French polisher. It is a skilled job, but it seems a waste of his guitar-playing talent.
