In the aftermath of the Radiohead bombshell, Guy Hands inflicts radical changes at record label EMI. His new regime comes up with more wild ideas to “sweat the assets” including a musical toothbrush and a Rolling Stones talent show. His desperate gambit to make EMI triggers a rebellion from some angry pop stars and one very dirty protest, and he realises he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
