THE UNKNOWN (12" Single ... limited edition used only for promo)
Now you're talking. With a catchy guitar riff that was doomed to succeed and very expressive lyrics dealing with the issues of what goes on in the industry along with one of the most effective vocal chorus hooks you've heard in recent times and Bob's your uncle.
A lot happened during the whole process of this being released, before and after.
Uncountable radio and tv appearances, live performances where the crowds seemed to leave their troubles at home and just turn up to the shows strictly to let themselves go, which they did. The irony is this is the one song where he nicely deals with the industry gripes and this is the one song the industry really took to. It's a crazy business.
The only thing that let this down and stiffled the progress was the lack of a video, something that was resolved with the next release.
