Alive - How do you feel about it now?, A new poll. Options

[SinfulEyes]

Now that most of you have had and listened to this album for a few weeks now, what is your impression of it?

[OutToDry]

In Alive's first week, & second weeks when it charted on Billboard Top 200 as of 7/24:

166 KOWALCZYK, ED - ALIVE 3,222 999 77 3,297

does that even cover the costs?

Haven't found any recent info, but in 2 weeks, that is wow!!

Pink Floyd is still outselling a lot of things almost 40 years later :

138 PINK FLOYD DARK SIDE OF THE MOON 3,734 38 2,711 8,933,356

Where did you get the info?

My feeling is that TGF will get a similar chart position to Alive in the US, but won't do nearly as well in Netherlands/Belgium(despite being on the same label as Ed). Also the fact that they don't have the CD for sale on their website won't help them make back the cost of producing the album.

If you had a brain, you'd be able to find it like me. I am looking for the European #'s (I think i got it at a board you post at)

They have the digital on their site. I think the real CD will be available but that depends on the EMI distribution deal.

I am also looking for the digital sales #'s

Your last comment is almost ludicrous. Don't you have any football whistle and jockstrap cleaning to tend to?

Ed's album was hard to find in most stores, and TGF will be facing the same problem especially since September 14th is a huge release date filled with insane of number of bands releasing new material. My local FYE isn't getting TGF's album, and I bet if you call around most stores won't be getting many copies of the album, if they are getting any at all.

Is this all you got? Wow, a stab at TGF's when Ed can't outsell a 40 year old record.

TGF got EMI to distribute. I am positive it will be present in most places. Folks here have gone to their local stores and asked for it to be preordered.
