He seemed emotional. Sarah, Babi, and Bobby are gone now. Bobby, especially, seemed to nearly tear him up.

Given this upcoming release, I was wondering what sort of numbers they were expecting for sales.
It also had me question what the original release did in 1992, so I looked...very interesting:
[bestsellingalbums.org]
Over 600000 units for Talk is Cheap, 40890 units for Main Offender, and 24210 for the Palladium album.
I was kind of shocked at how low the two latter albums sold. What the hell does that mean for sales expectations for the rereleases?
I guess they must make money on them, but it has to be pretty marginal...what are they going to sell, 10% of the original release?

well, super deluxe editions (which are usually very overpriced) aren't a bad way to make money. The profit margin is much higher than other physical releases.
In this case they sell us a box and some merch for some 100 Euros (= 140 for the deluxe box minus 17 for the double CD minus 24 for the LPs)…

I always thought it was “Doesn’t matter, honey” rather than “Doesn’t matter how many.”
Apparently Keith agrees!

Interest waned pretty quickly. Which is the general direction most solo artists from big known bands happens. Novelty, and then interest dropping. Look at George Harrison. His biggest was his first. What were the sales of Mick's first? And subsequent ones? The first Keith release had a semi-hit in Take It So Hard, probably owing to its Stones like sound. Main Offender had no comparable hit song. And live releases generally sell a lot less.
