I'm not really sure how they tracked it in the '70s, when it was officially released. It obviously didn't sell in its first pressing with Polydor, else they wouldn't have been dropped. But I imagine it sold decently when they reissued it once S&L joined FM.
Given their popularity at the time, I can't imagine Warner re-releasing the album without pressing a few hundred thousand copies. And I'm guessing the first pressing numbered in the thousands.
The figures have to be somewhere. It's the music BUSINESS after all.
