How many albums did TD sell (in 1976)

Post by 24db »

Rock & Folk magazine No 119. Reve A Vendre

Translated from the French by babelfish...so the text isn't completely accurate...but the figures are :)

R&F: How many albums have you sold in Germany?

Peter Baumann: “Phaedra”: 10,000; “Rubycon”: 12,000; “Ricochet”: 15,000; “Stratosfear”: 25,000…

R&F: And in the whole world?

P.B: “Phaedra”: 25O,000; “Rubycon”: 300,000 and “Ricochet”, thanks to your adorable country: “350,000”. (As an indication, the figures given by CPF-Barclay for France are, respectively for the three albums: 40, 000,45,000 and 50,000.)

Only part of a very long French article (keeping checking the blog Charles). Hopefully one day we'll get an English Translation

It's a question I've seen asked numerous times over the years and I've never seen a sensible answer. I guess we will never know the truth.


...and does it matter that much anyway?

there's no way that you'd ever get an accurate figure these days...it's too fragmented
