Distrib, Sales Failures in U.K. Cited by MGM in Switch to Pye

Cowsills’ Disk
Oldfield quoted the case of the Cowsills’ current U.S. hit “Indian lake,” which he said had been a hit I Germany and Japan and which he felt was ideally suited to the British market. He also mentioned the debut single of U.K. disk jockey Tony Blackburn. “This,” said Oldfield, “was launched at exactly the right time, and had great promotion. But it entered the charts at 29 one week and just dropped out the following week. The only way we can account for this is to assume that the record just wasn’t in stock in the record stores.”
