From Ted Sallis: "It appears to me that 4 songs were initially recorded (likely in Oct. 1970)," Yes and we all have The Doobie Bothers (at least kind of) to thank for that. That was Warner Brothers were prepared to pay for. >then I’m Eighteen was released as a single on the date I mentioned above. I...

From guttertrash: "You said that not long after Trash the main supporter of Alice was out at Epic, so he fail through the cracks basically." No I did not. You wrote: ""Epic took the time to get Firehouse, Living Colour, and Europe their albums certified double platinum on November 9th, 1994 (yes, al...

From Si: "As I remember it, it wasn`t the biggest success, and certainly not the success everyone expected it." Yes, that's pretty accurate. I think some shows were very well attended but many others were not. One theory was that Judas Priest (who closed all or most of the shows) had only quite rece...

From guttertrash: "The totals that I have seen were the soundscan sales since 1991 which were around 300,000 added to the RIAA shipment totals which were 1.2 million. The total would be around 1.5 million." The shipment totals would be figures given to them by Epic or the distributors and there's no...

From Si: 7th July has a full page ad, page 82, but doesn`t mention Double platinum, just platinum. Is this the one? Yes and as you say, it doesn't back up my claim although it isn't referring just to America though). However, I can only go by what I understood at the time and what I had confirmed to...

From Si:
"Damn. I looked a month before and a month after the release but that is the only one I found before giving up"

The one I'm referring to was from 1990, about a year after the album was released.

From Si:
"http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Arc ... -07-29.pdf
Page 11"

That isn't the one I'm referring to.

From guttertrash: I am at a loss. Was Alice so hated that a label decided to try to kill his career even though he supposedly just exceeded expectstions? Who said he was "hated" and where did I state anything even remotely close to that? I actually checked yesterday with Toby Mamis and he confirmed ...

From guttertrash: "Epic took the time to get Firehouse, Living Colour, and Europe their albums certified double platinum on November 9th, 1994 (yes, all at the same time). This was 4, 8 and 10 years after their albums were released. I'm sure Trash just somehow fail through the cracks while they were...

From Spettro:
"Omg, can you all just STFU about Trash already? It was a good album for it's time."

I have to agree. This obsession some people have with this album is somewhat bewildering.

From guttertrash: "Yes, I do understand this, but if the soundscan figures as of three years ago which is the last I have seen are around 1.2 or 1.3 million sold." Not only does that not answer the point Si made, I don't think that particular method of registering sales was around when the album was...

From guttertrash:
"because as of a few years ago, Trash has sold around 1.2 million copies"

I am almost certain that by the summer of 1990, it was almost double that according to what I saw in "Billboard" in an advertisment for the album.

Frm Babysquid: "If that's the case cool. My suspicion is that he was probably referring to overdriving the preamp on the tape machine which is not the same as saturating the tape. Getting that sort of distortion from tape saturation is really going the long way round and I don't think that's Bob's w...

From Keith1980:
"Will alice be doing a commentary for this?"

No.

From Babysquid:
"Regarding GB's guitar tone on School's Out do you know for sure that's how he got that sound? Have you heard it somewhere or are you making an assumption?"

I think there is an interview out there with Bob Ezrin where he says that's what happened.

From Ted Sallis:
"According to this website, Desperado, Is It My Body and Hard Hearted Alice were not A sides."

Yes. I was trying to avoid any exaggerating.

From Keith1980:
"Does anyone know if their has been any kind of "work" done to this dvd?"

I believe so but within the limitations of the copy that was used.

From Si: "Would the quality of the original footage really justify a Blue-Ray?" That was the issue that came up before when we previously looked at the source which was then available and it was decided that there was no justification. I don't know exactly which source is being used this time but th...

From Daggers & Contracts:
"Just DVD format or Blu-Ray also?"

The former only, I think.
