      Hand It Over is awesome. Still, suprised it sold 34,000 copies. I think Warner made a mistake dropping them instead of promoting them. You know the record companies and manufacturing areas made over a 100,000 on that.

      I think Warner lost interest in them by 1995. Despite them managing hits with Start Choppin’ and Feel The Pain, I think they expected a Gold album with Where You Been or Without A Sound. When they didn’t manage it, they dropped any support they ever gave the band. I hope the new album sells well.

        Oh God, they’re BACK FROM EXTINCTION again ! Shit ! ;) Isn’t it time to "extinct this extinction" ? Har har har ;D

        LOL.

        It was nice to some sales info for the band. Can’t believe Hand It Over sold so poorly. But then the band broked up not long afterwards so I guess it was forgotten about. Not at all surprised to see Where You Been as their biggest-seller but it would have been nice if it had sold more. These guys deserve a Gold album or 3. I’d imagine Green Mind sold at least 150,000 in the U.S. and Without A Sound probably did around 220,000 or so. No idea about their pre-major label albums. I’d love to see Soundscan numbers for their career.
