Jumpin' Jesus...


I find this to be absolutely incredible. Came from out of nowhere, sold a shitton of records, and slipped right on into BK commercials 10 years later.


I'll bet this is one of the most returned albums as well filling up used bins across the country.

Hootie and Extreme - "Pornografitti"

* - No longer
** - I think
*** - Multiple copies, in some cases as simple as one copy on vinyl, one copy on CD, but in the worst cases, I have as many copies as are out there, just about (E.G. remasters, MFSL copies, etc.)

I think I win at 37.

That's got to be right about double albums, because no way Physical Graffitti outsold I & II.

How many does the Bruce Box count for? Four? Five? That's the only box set I saw in there.
