sentences:  At the time, Cope was signed to Island Records, who were not interested in releasing "Skellington".This led to Cope releasing it via his own label Copeco, and later expanding the release via a deal with the independent Zippo Records label.When Island insisted that "Skellington" was illegal and should be withdrawn due to their contract with Cope, the artist refused and defiantly released yet another similar album ("Droolian") just two months later.
