The third part of the excellent Music Moguls series on the same channel (of course!) featured some dodgy geezer (or certainly somebody playing a dodgy geezer) talking about music PR, a subject uncomfortably close to what used to be my heart. Watch it for the extended Uriah Heep anecdote, which includes Lee Kerslake wrestling a bear… http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p039x5f7/music-moguls-masters-of-pop-3-myth-makers
That PR guy is still spinning PR about it though. I don't remember High & Mighty getting good reviews. My memory - and admittedly it was a long time ago - was that the PR stunt backfired and the music press took the piss out of UH about it. He did get picked up on the Jerry Hall court case exaggerations though!
