Gary Kurfirst, who managed Talking Heads and Debbie Harry, bought the band's contract from Parlophone and signed them to his own label, Radioactive, a subsidiary of MCA. Radioactive were keen to release the band's second album, but required a chart friendly track. They completed recording "Now We Are Married", in Edinburgh, and Radioactive issued it as a single ahead of "Hammer and Tongs". Both releases again failed to chart, and the group were persuaded to leave the label by their management. Radioactive meanwhile released a compilation of the band's two albums self-titled as "Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie" in North America, Europe, Australia and Japan.
