Quoted post

Yes.

Contraband was certified platnium in August 2004.

I think their debut sold 12 copies, all to family members.

Velvet Underground -- a band everyone claims as an influence, but no one has ever heard.

I'd be surprised if they sold 100,000 copies of all their albums combined.

For an allegedly seminal band, I don't know a soul who owns one of their discs.

I love Sweet Jane, BTW. Did VU do Perfect Day or is that Lou Reed on his own?

Quoted post

I think that's on "Transformer", which is a Lou Reed solo album

World Pary - Goodbye Jumbo

Great disc, had Put the Message in the Box"

Did any XTC album sell that much?

The only good thing an ex-girlfriend of mine ever did was to buy me basically the complete collection of Velvet Underground records.
