I can confirm that NY office was a financial strain on the business.

After 6 months until the end 95% of the revenue was generated by myself (Ads and payola) + roadshow part profits.

Every Tuesday i had a bike courier waiting at 8am outside gallop for the latest chart.

I would then scan the top 200 looking for any movement upwards outside the top 40 and spend the rest of the day calling my record company contacts the rate was 100 pound a play min 50 plays over 7 days (Most went for 100) for 10K.

Deal was i paid for the office and took 20% commission it was money for old rope.

I continually apologise to my old mate Tommy Rivers for the crud they had to play.

Best deals i remember were Edwin Starr which I did with Pete Stringfellow lovely guy we stayed in touch for years in fact he was my guest once at the rugby league CC final in Cardiff and Epic records for Carly Simon.

Craziest ad Sunday Sport which was loads of fun and again stayed in touch with David Sullivan for years..
