 Arrogance's strategy of building a regional following and releasing their own music was not only unparalleled, it was radical, but it finally brought them national attention by the end of 1975 when the band signed with Vanguard Records.Rumors was released in 1976 but unfortunately Vanguard, then a New York City independent label, was ill-equipped to properly support and promote an up-and-coming rock band since its roster was primarily folk artists.And it probably didn't help that, early the following year, Fleetwood Mac released a multi-platinum album using the English spelling of the same title, “Rumours.” But for whatever reasons, Rumors’ launch was less than successful.
