Their Ouster From A&M, and Their Tenure With Capitol
Their proposed fifth album, the self produced Suffer for Sound, was rejected by A&M, who dumped the band instead, finishing out its contract with the oddities collection T.R.A.S.H. (Tubes Rarities and Smash Hits) (1981). The band was signed to Capitol Records by Bruce Garfield and Bobby Colomby, scaling back the live shows and redesigning itself as a straight laced rock band, teaming with producer David Foster.
