As a person, I've been in the business since 1969, and I never remember getting an honest count based upon how many records been sold for Burning Spear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But I remember we sold nearly 18,000 records in one day.
We were not given any statistics as to how many records were pressed on the blue label. I used to ask Bob Shad how we were going to get paid from record sales and what I got for an answer was not to worry about the business end of the deal.
I don't know how many records I'm selling.
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
We sold a certain, steady amount of product for them and they could count on it. When it came time to ask for the money for this new record, they dropped us. It was fine with us. It was a dead fish.
I've been around for such a long time. My first hit record was over 20 years ago and the people who bought my records then are married now and they probably still play these records and their children like them.
We've sold over 100,000 records so far, and we're an independent label.
I have been with the record company and Tommy was there doing records with other people.
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.
People assume I sell a lot more records than I actually do. I really don't sell any.
