Re: Live at Leeds sales figures

[thewho rocks <leb905@yahoo.com>]

The sales rank doesn't tell you how many it's sold.  Their system gives
you what seems to be it's standing in the category, say "books" or 
"popular music."  I don't always see it on their items, but a while
back I listed the ranks of all The Who albums, and Leeds (the official
release) came out right on top.  This might be more a reason for MCA to
request the Leeds TOMMY release than the bootleg.  Regardless of the
bad-mouthing that it's getting here and on alt.music.who, the Deluxe
Edition is standing at 25 at Amazon.com tonight.  It that holds, it
will sell quite well.

Look just below the "Buy and Sell Used Items" box and you'll see the
"Sales Rank" line.
