Does anybody know how many copies of VESUVIO have been sold?, or have ever been printed?
I guess not that many. Possiblly 1,000 at most.
I could be wrong though.

I would think far less but im only guessing. some of his releases have been really small batches, Thekla was 50 total, the reissue of Anal was small as well, I would think these new one off records are following the same suit as they don't have the mass appeal of a mainstream album.

Buy it then. It's fucking amazing. No tunes right enough! Some amazing noise though. Think Neil Young's - Le Noise and mulitiply it by infinity, and you just might just get close.

"50 total of THEKLA"? Seriously??
Wow. I learned the hard way to buy pronto Tonto when a new release is announced on HH but had no idea there were *that* few of any of the titles.

In all truth it doesn't really matter. One can find these things online. It's basically a tax on buying good music in a physical format. However, internet streaming negates the physical object and artwork. I don't mind paying, but if us forward thinking muthafuckers buy more stuff, then the price may go down a bit.
It aint cheap to do music on a smallish scale. Really expensive. Economies of scale and all that.
All in all, I think HH are doing a splendid job though!

It's a collaboration though. It is Julian. It is Holy Mc, but it has Stephen O' Malley written mainly all over it.
Long may it continue! Did you see my thread regarding Stephen O' Malley?

I picked up Thekla when it was in the merchandiser I had no idea it was a limited release I just bought (because at the time I bought EVERYTHING cope related) truth be told it has horrible sound it was recorded by someone at the show on a handheld but the cover art is cool as it goes with the early brain donor albums. So yeah..I wouldn't buy it now as its crazy expensive the last one I saw on ebay SOLD for 175.00 US which is insane. Anal is the same kind of thing the reissue was more limited than the original release but I much prefer the artwork myself though the "music" is a bit minimal for my taste.

Julian gave me Skellington (1 and 2) in Shetland (a long journey) one day. I/we have no idea how much it was worth. Probably alot. We just went to see 2 gigS
In our case 750 miles each way.
You WANNA?
I'll tell you the story some other time.
And the one in Wiltshire, when me and she almost got killled by angry cows in a field. Also nearly in New Zealand.
Scary. Don't mess with them! The countryside is fucking dangerous. Sheep are mental too. They don't like us!
