You are incorrect. Please read the subsection EMI and the Grundy Incident. After the discussion of the Today show encounter with host Bill Grundy and its effect on the band's reputation, the subsection concludes with this paragraph:
Following the end of the tour in late December, three concerts were arranged in Holland for January 1977. The band, hungover, boarded a plane at London Heathrow Airport early on 4 January; a few hours later, the Evening News was reporting that the band had ""vomited and spat their way"" to the flight. Despite categorical denials by the EMI representative who accompanied the group, the label, which was under political pressure, released the band from their contract. As McLaren fielded offers from other labels, the band went into the studio for a round of recordings with Goodman, their last with both him and Matlock.
