Anybody know  how many records the melvins have sold?

[FartLips]

in tens of hundreds.

[>>>JZS<<<]

not enough.

[Mad Arab]

Enough for them to help with living in San Francisco. I'm sure the cost of living there is pretty high.

Which also explains the need for constant touring.

All albums ever released collectively possibly

Buzz said somewhere that they averaged about 10,000 per release on Atlantic.
I would imagine they do about 5000 per on Ipecac, maybe less now with
internet downloading and filesharing. They really make their bank playing live
and on merch.

every show was sold out for this houdini tour... right? or almost every show.... thats alot of fans buying records... but it could also be alot of fans downloading.

Those numbers seem low.  I could have sworn that alone Houdini sold over 50,000.

interesting....i would of  figured  it would have been more than that.especially the major label albums.

[anaconda]

trust me, if they sold anywhere near 50,000 per on Atlantic they'd still be signed there.
