The reunited band had another falling out over old wounds -- money and the
potential writing credit alocation for a future album. There was also the
matter of the millions that Arista still owes the band. Arista was willing
to settle and the members couldn't agree on how to divide the
dough....putting the last, pathetic nail in their coffin.

Have been trying to secure the rights to the even rarer Canadian/German only
release of "Ricochet" (aka The Brown Bag Album). Turns out Epic, the label
that released it in Canada, doesn't own it....a production company not
affiliated to the band have the rights to it...and I have yet to track them
down.
