"1 dollar 20 cents, 1 dollar 21 cents, 1 dollar 22 cents..."

Ha ha ha. No kidding. I have often wondered how much Lou and the band made from record sales a) during the band's lifetime and b) through today. I guess Lou would make more given most of the songs are credited to him. I can't imagine they earned much during VU's lifetime, given the fact that even those who wanted to buy the albums couldn't find them in the stores.

I presume that the terms & conditions for things like the PS&S box & the various mono/stereo reissues have gone in the bands favour since their reformation. That does leave about 20 years of very little. Though I`m sure Lou & John did OK from their solo careers.

Available for $77 on amazon.ca if anyone wants it cheap.

Yeah I noticed that Simon, rip off Britain eh. There is a chance that price might come down as they always want to put a page up so as not to lose customers, Amazon prices can swing around quite a bit in my experience. I'm holding off and not pre-ordering maybe the price might be better elsewhere?

Amazon.de requires 122 Euros pre-order. Is this the most expensive price for this set? It seems to be.
