In December 1972, Neil Diamond, another Uni artist, reached superstar status with his first MCA release, the live multi-platinum "Hot August Night". Elton John's double album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was released in October 1973 and was number one on the US "Billboard" 200 albums chart for eight straight weeks. The management of former Decca artists the Who had formed their own label Track Records in the UK but were still under contract with MCA for US distribution. The Who's double album "Quadrophenia" was released by Track/MCA also in October 1973. "Quadrophenia" peaked at number 2 as it was held back from the number 1 slot by "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."
