Hi Swarb,

Other than the L&L album, did you recall what the other bigger selling albums were?

Thanks,


Pat

Yes I think Angel Delight did chart highest.  The TOTP albums slot probably helped.

According to the books AD reached No. 8. Apparently DM did the TOTP slot wearing a T-shirt with the inscription "Miming"!

I read somewhere that Rising for The moon got in the low regions of the UK and US album charts? Would that be right? Dave Pegg said that he remembered huge posters for Rising over Sunset Boulevard.

Would you believe me if I said that Fairports highest chart position in Norway was for Gottle o'geer? It's probably because "Rising..." did quite well in Norway and their concerts sold out in 1975. So people probably bought GO'G expecting another RFTM.
