#TBT By early 1973, Randy Bachman had burned through $97,000 of his Guess Who royalties keeping Brave Belt alive. He was paying the band $175 a week while they toured in a drafty van, eating peanut butter sandwiches. Randy flew to New York and Los Angeles, hand-delivering their third album to every major label in America. The responses came back on identical letterhead. 26 rejections. One such note came from from Charlie Fach's desk at Mercury Records: "Dear Randy, I pass on the tape." Not even signed. Randy called a band meeting in Toronto. "We've got 26 refusals. I've sent out four more tape packages. If it doesn't happen, this Friday is the last paycheque." On a final trip to New York to sell the tapes one last time, Fred Turner, who had gone with, went for a walk. He turned a corner and a man was standing there - knife out, hand extended. "Gimme your money, please." The "please" made it more terrifying somehow. Fred handed over his cash and walked straight back to his hotel room, picked up his bass and wrote the whole thing down; a pile-driving rocker with Fred's gritty vocals and Randy's gutty, piercing guitar. They called it "Gimme Your Money Please." It became the first track on the Brave Belt III tape. Randy sent the tape to Charlie Fach at Mercury one more time, via special air messenger. The next morning, Fach called Randy at his hotel, song playing in the background. "I've just put the tape on," Fach said. "You know, if the rest of the album is like this, you've got a deal. We've been looking for a strong rock group." Mercury offered a two-album deal at $50,000 per album. Fach insisted they couldn't be called Brave Belt so Randy suggested Bachman-Turner Overdrive. They signed. Within three months of BTO I hitting stores in May 1973, Mercury had recouped its investment. Edited from Killer Guitar Academy. #rocknroll #music #history #blowthisup MercuryRecords
