Description

Before becoming a Knight, an airline billionaire, or a galactic spaceman, Richard Branson founded Virgin Records. He made a boatload of money off Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells record and sank some of the profits into signing the Sex Pistols after they got tossed from EMI and A&M. Hear the story directly from the mouth of Sir Richard Branson (not Branston, like the pickle) originally broadcast October 17, 2005. He even credits the Sex Pistols for everything he did after! "I suspect we wouldn't have things like Virgin Atlantic, I mean, the Sex Pistols really propelled Virgin into, putting us on the map." So, where's the money? Because you've asked for it, we'll be publishing some special episodes like this from our vaults.
