Radio was closed to us. We had a couple of stabs at singles; neither of them worked and we were never going to get
Top of the Pops (1964) unless we got something special. When Bowie (
David Bowie) found out we were thinking of splitting up he gave us Suffragette City and we said no. It was a good song, but not good enough. Then he played us Dudes and it was like, "Whoa, do you know what you're giving us?!".
