I'd like to think so too, but we'd probably be wrong. Whatever, the original point stands that you can hardly accuse the people that made that decision of getting it wrong, when the album sold so many. What is wrong is how come the numbers sold didn't translate into royalties received. Allegedly.

No-one here is denying that, and I doubt you'll find anyone this side of The Great Divide to disagree with you.
