The tax issue was almost certainly behind many of the choices back then, in the late 70's in the UK you could effectively be paying 90% tax (split between income tax and tax on savings) Many rock stars fled the country then and Roger has commented on this in the past.
As a side, I was in the dentist chair back in the 70's, my dentist was a personal friend of Nick Mason form Pink Floyd, they were at Cambridge together, anyway Nick rushes in, must have been around the time of The Wall and said he needed to say goodbye he had 12 hours to get out of the country before they clobbered him for a huge tax bill, then he left in a fast car!
Crazy ! Great story.
