ok.. Post The Madding Crowd.... they recorded another album under the Sony record label..(epic).... they got in an argument about promoting the music and such.. ended up getting dropped by/dropping sony.
next step is to try and get rights to their newly recorded album (So Happily Unsatisfied).. they almost got it released under an Indy label, but in the end they find out that they would be in the same boat all over again.. so they can't release (So happily unsatisfied) because Sony still owns the music for the next 2 years.... so they are starting over... new album... they own it.. no record company... blah blah blah.... you can figure out the rest..
