Our first record, 'Huey Lewis And The News', was seen by no one - it sold 25 copies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, we were originally called Huey Lewis and the American Express. But on the eve of the release of our first record, our record label, Chrysalis Records was afraid that we'd be sued by American Express.
But when our first album came out, I didn't think it was going to sell a lot of records.
We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.
Well, you know, back then there wasn't many albums, it was the singles. You sold singles.
I don't really sell many records.
Nobody sells records any more, and the only way you can actually do anything is to go out and play live.
I don't particularly care how many records we sell any more because we've kind of bought all the equipment we want to buy.
I don't know how many records I'm selling.
I never really made a full album in Los Angeles before.
But I remember we sold nearly 18,000 records in one day.
