IIRC, when Ezra was signed, the record label literally had gold fall into its lap. Couldn't believe no one had signed these guys at the time. Deluxe had sold something like 10,000 without any label support whatsoever. The record company just re-released Deluxe and started cashing checks. The biggest surprise to me, though, has been the band's staying power. I was almost certain they'd be done after "Good" ran its course through radio.

No doubt, I thought they should've been signed on the strength of Surprise... I wonder how many copies that sold (I still have the cassette)?

I'm sure the delay had to do with Joel committing suicide and them breaking up for a while...
