No wonder they are not considered one of the best groups ever, BUT THE BEST:)
Three things in this world that is precious, and we are lucky to enjoy.
The Environment, Animals, Beatles
Is it true that data from other markets such as USSR/Russia and Philippines are still needed to be added in The Beatles sales? And will you pls confirm if Long Tall Sally sales were already included in your analysis or is that part still missing?
Thank you!
MARTIN!!!!!!!! 😍😍
or MJD
No, data from those markets has been accounted for. When an update is performed, we will look to see if any additional information/knowledge has come to light, which certainly has with regards to the USSR and adjusted numbers accordingly.
Not sure what you mean, with regards to LTS.
Martin, thank you 😍 🤗
Hi Sonique! I checked now the case of LTS, we have both the album (Canadian release from the 60s) and the single/EP merged. Back then we often put together these formats when the single tracklist was included in the EP, playing then with the factor. That being said, when I see the breakdown of our 350k figure, we definitely overlooked a large chunk of the EP sales. For example, the UK sales cell is blank.

What do you mean by it will probably downgrade their traditional albums? Can you please elaborate on this? Will it not increase their CSPS since sales were missing from these countries?

If we knew that the Beatles shipped 300,000 albums upon release in late 80s in USSR, with no further info, we will assume these sales have been managed by the usual suspects like Abbey Road or Pepper, so we distribute these sales to them. Then, if with Discogs we end up learning that these 300,000 units were all sold by a local compilation, updating their article will mean reducing pure sales of the original albums, and add that compilation to their remaining LPs. Ultimately, the totals won’t differ much, but how the sales were assigned will vary. It’s a bit… Read more »
So the missing data would not increase their sales but to allocate them properly?
