When the record was completed some months later, Capitol turned the record down calling it "commercially unacceptable", which put the band in contractual limbo. Capitol refused to release the band from the contract. A campaign was organized and financed by producers Arnell and Loeb, and engaging fans around the world. Fans picketed the offices of EMI Records, especially in the UK. Finally, Elektra Records reached an agreement with Capitol Vice President Rupert Perry and immediately released "Fire Down Under", which then soared into the Billboard 200 chart.
