Roxy Music (album) July 1972, a few weeks after the contract was signed, Roxy Music recorded two more songs, "Virginia Plain" and "The Numberer", that were released as a single. It peaked at No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart and helped push sales of the album, which itself went to No. 10. In most later repressings of the album, including CD versions, the song "Virginia Plain" has been included.

Hit Scene studios. The Avengers appeared in-person on the first national episode on 17 May 1969, promoting their latest EMI single "Twiddle-E-Dee", composed by Terry Britten. Unlike "GTK", in-house performances were mostly mimed to pre-recorded music. This may have played a part in "Hit Scene"'s demise, because the Musicians' Union and Actors Equity decided on 1 November 1972 to ban all mimed performances on Australian television. "Hit Scene" was recorded in monochrome at the ABC's Ripponlea television studios in the Melbourne suburb of Elsternwick. Early episodes were produced by Bernard Terry, and directed by Roger Prior, with Alan Morris as executive producer.
