There were not enough gigs to live on and soon after the band was penniless and desperate. It was more practical advertising two LPs simultaneously with one name and one cost. Most of the band objected being stuck with the name Christian Death especially Rozz. As for Death was the ultimate enigma and could therefore possibly hold the key to every or at least many a mystery. Eventually everyone agreed contractually on the condition that everyone was jointly and severally Christian Death and that anyone who left the unit would forfeit rights to the name.
Valor agrees as it was the only alternative to the predicament and many disagreements.
The die was cast. This was all too much hardship for Rozz, who pleaded with his mother to pay his airfare from France back to California. The stranded considered doing shows without him, but decided it unethical. Several months later Valor, David, and Gitane managed to raise the money to return to Los Angeles. A tour of the US and Europe was booked.
