<prompt> Bheka isigaba esingezansi bese uphendula umbuzo emva kwalokho ngolimi olufanayo nesigaba: I-Passage: Impumelelo yokuqala ye-albhamu yaseMelika iningi layo lincike emizamweni yenkampani yokurekhoda yase-US kaPink Floyd, iCapitol Records. Usihlalo osanda kuqokwa uBhaskar Menon waqala ukuzama ukuguqula ukuthengiswa okuphansi kwe-albhamu ye-studio ye-band ka-1971 ethi Meddle. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, bedunyazwe iCapitol, iqembu nomphathi u-ORourke babexoxisana buthule ngesivumelwano esisha nomongameli we-CBS uClive Davis, kwaColumbia Records. I-Dark Side of the Moon kwakuyi-albhamu yokugcina i-Pink Floyd eyayibophekile ukuyikhipha ngaphambi kokusayina ngokusemthethweni inkontileka entsha. Umdlandla kaMenon nge-albhamu entsha wawunjalo ukuthi waqala umkhankaso omkhulu wokukhangisa wokukhangisa, owawufaka nezinguqulo ezifinyeziwe zomsakazo ze- Us and Them ne Time. Kwamanye amazwe - ikakhulukazi e-UK - iPink Floyd yayingakaze ikhiphe i-single kusukela ngo-1968 Point Me at the Sky, futhi ngokungajwayelekile Imali yakhishwa njenge-single ngoMeyi 7, nge- Any Colour You Like ohlangothini lwe-B. Ifinyelele endaweni ye-13 kuBillboard Hot 100 ngoJulayi 1973. Inguqulo yokuphromotha yelebula elimhlophe elinamacala amabili, enokuhlanganiswa kwe-mono ne-stereo, yathunyelwa eziteshini zomsakazo. Uhlangothi lwe-mono lwalunegama elithi bullshit elisuswe engomeni okushiya inkunzi endaweni yalo nokho, uhlangothi lwe-stereo lwagcina inguqulo engacwaningiwe. Lokhu kamuva kwahoxiswa; okunye kwathunyelwa eziteshini zomsakazo kanye nenothi elayeluleka ama-disc jockey ukuba alahle ikhophi yokuqala engacwaningiwe. NgoFebhuwari 4, 1974, kwaphuma i-single ephindwe kabili ye-A-side ne- Time ohlangothini olulodwa, ne- Us and Them kolunye uhlangothi. Imizamo kaMenon yokuqinisekisa ukuvuselelwa kwenkontileka nePink Floyd kwaba yize; ekuqaleni kuka-1974, leli qembu lasayina iColumbia ngemali ebikiwe engu- 1M eBrithani naseYurophu baqhubeka nokumelwa yiHarvest Records. Umbuzo: Yayiyini inkampani yokurekhoda yakwaPink Floyd e-US?  <response>: Iqembu le-Capitol
