READER'S DIGEST VERSION:
Tal was embroiled in management battles DURING the "She's So High"
success...which is why the follow-up single was buried so quickly making
Tal, effectively, a one-hit wonder.
Upon securing new management he was at odds with them about the direction of
the next record despite submitting dozens of demos to Columbia which they
were excited about. But, management balked at moving forward, instead,
attempting to renegotiate the original deal. Columbia held firm. Management
dragged knuckles. Tal grew impatient. Management deal eventually expired.
Columbia moved on. Tal had to look for new deal(s).
There is a lot more to the story which I'm not really at liberty to discuss.
Needless to say, Tal's back in action and has done really well with the new
song "Aeroplane" in the last 4 months...something that no doubt helped him
secure the Sextent deal.
