Traffic: Where The Eagle Flies
Gary Sperrazza!, Shakin' Street Gazette, 10 October 1974
RECORD COMPANIES amuse me. As soon as their bands get an established name, the corporate mouths start watering as they see visions of dollar signs floating across the room. And it is to be expected — companies exist to make money. I know, such profundity...but it often times is the people within the companies who spout news like: "Our label strives to be an outlet for the cultivation of artistically creative talent and to reach the maximum amount of people by supporting our artists through radio promotion, newspaper publicity and advertising, blah, blah, blah."
