At the same time, we're always on the lookout for the next gold rush, the next Powerball, the next bubble. The fact that Wall Street banks...
...major breakthrough: its first LP, Sigue Sigue Sputnik Flaunt It, will be released in July in Britain--complete with commercials. The record has the ambiguous distinction of being the first to hawk wares between the cuts. Eight to ten 20- to 30-second tracks on the EMI record will extol such salables as cellular mobile telephones and fashion and youth magazines. According to Sigue Sigue, each advertising track will cost roughly $1,500, and the promotion will also appear on the album sleeve. The point, says Bassist James, is to keep down production costs.
