After that, the Carson album was unleashed and very quickly brought back to where it came from in a manner that would possibly make the infamous Bee Gees Sgt. Pepper Soundtrack fiasco look like a real hit. A hit had to happen, and this was it!
I knew Kiss Alive! was important for the label but didn't realize that it saved them from going out of business. Yes Marc Bolan never did have much success stateside but I know The Slider album sold quite well there.
