Is this just an american problem? I can remember Pete Tong (Radio 1 DJ and
director of London records) saying in Muzik that Goldie's Timeless was one
of his favourite albums of the year. I got the impression that the album
did quite well in the UK. I've also got the impression that Carl Craig
doesn't do too badly for himself either.
How do Tricky albums sell in the US?
