I actually spent half an hour on the phone last week with Polygram trying
to track down the status of Galliano as a domestic act. At the end of a
long and frustrating (long distance) call (wherein I spoke to only one
person -- a secretary -- who had heard the group's recordings) I got a
brief call back saying that Galliano has evidently been dropped from the
domestic roster.
It seems that certain Talkin Loud recordings come out on Verve Forecast and
some on Mercury/Polygram. I think it would benefit both artists and public
for there to be one US imprint for all the Talkin Loud acts.
