Another great interview to add to the collection with the man who signed the boys in 1981 and was the only person there from the beginning through to the end of the 80s; A & R guy, David Bates.We spoke for three hours so edited it into two parts (2nd part next week).In this part, discover;* Which other huge band David wasn't allowed to sign* What caused Curt to cry while recording The Hurting* What was Curt's unique contribution to Everybody Wants To Rule The World* Why their success is due to a large flourescent pink duckAll this and more..enjoy.
