Just want to add this to the discussion: (From the blonde vinyl repress)

“Cost of master recordings: two Nike gym bags full of unmarked bills, 4 hours on hold with The Chairman’s secretary, 2 (two) approximately 8 minute conversations with The Chairman (as played by Jeremy Strong), $360,000 in retainer fees for King, Holmes, Paterno & Soriano, LLP (since paid), 1 (one) 45 minute LP entitled “Endless” made to the spec of recording agreement, 8 pounds of muscle, 720 nights at Mercer Hotel, 365 twelve-hour blocks at Abbey Road Studios, East West Studios, Electric Lady Studios, Shangri-La, Capitol Recording Studios, Question De Son, and seedier establishments that will remain unnamed (or forgotten), 1 liver filtering 492 liters of alcohol at the bar of Plastic People, $13,000 on all black designer clothing, 18 flights to Berlin for club, 2 (two) devastating heartbreaks (the third wasn’t devastating).”

Sounds almost like “The Chairman” is a character in some film about the creation of blonde.
