RichardB Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Who was the "70's till now Star" who registered the lowest selling album figure ever (sales below zero !) - nowt to do with Sheffield or even England ... Sales below zero takes some beating ... house points for working that one out ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Band from the USA, but truly international by 1979-80. Very famous lead singer, an even more famous photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female, blonde, older than you might have first thought, Oh, and some blokies. Post-Punk, slick pop. Next most famous member was very ill for some time - the others, can't name a single one of 'em - if you can Call me and don't keep me Hanging on the Telephone ...

Did they really have the lowest selling album ever?? Lozz At last we have Debbie Harry identified; it was before the Blondie days; an earlier band. We still have to work out how it's deemed to be the lowest selling album ever. Some albums sell zero copies - this managed even lower figures than zero !!

Kept you busy anyway I would have thought "Edwards Hand" that I bought for 10p from a clearance warehouse near the Five Arches sold fewer ... what was it called ... W ?

I have a copy of the re-issue CD - described as the worst album ever. It is appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several of the worst/rarest albums/CD re-issues ever including one I've never yet managed to listen to from start to finish in one go - a masterpiece apparently - the band asked for a tree-surgeon at the recording session, in case their vibes harmed the trees ... they were told to ..................

RichardB Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 The next one is by Lou Reed, no vocals, no rhythm, no time- matter of fact nothing of any merit whatsoever - sounds like a double album of white noise and feedback - tremendous and released on RCA Red Label - usually reserved for Classical recordings.
