Beach Boys Vs IYD

[johnnystorms]

i shouldn't be posting this because i haed cocktails with a friend for her BDay tonight. consider it my ledgie "drunk dial". but i'm TIRED of record co. poormouthing... IYD was an artistic triumph, a critical hit, and a modest seller. lets say 150,000 copies at 12.00 avg. that's 1.8 mil... now, i figure 300,000 for session players and equip. 200,00o to producers and promotion... maybe another 300,000 misc expenses. that still leaves basically 1 mil in profit.. who would complain about DOUBLING your investment in a year?? so, the thought that a modest selling record was a money loser is preposterous, much less the GaGas, and Katy Perrys. something doesn;t add up about this record co. poor-mouthing
