The 1980s saw a new flowering, with impressive signings in America and Europe, but not without internal struggles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistinguished journalist and broadcaster Helen Wallace vividly charts the company's progress through boom years and unexpected financial threats, and reveals how artistic foresight has been balanced with commercial reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A surprisingly gripping narrative.
