Hi Everyone,

I'm just wondering as a matter of interest, if anyone knows where the sales stand for "Harmony". It debuted at no. 13 on the Canadian charts, which is quite high, and there was a lot of publicity surrounding the release, what with Gord's illness and all. I would have expected it to sell at least 50,000 copies by now (which would make it a gold record in Canada), especially since his Greatest Hits CD went gold so quickly. Not only that, I know of several lesser known folky groups that have sold at least 35,000 copies of their recent albums, with not nearly the same amount of marketing and/or fame. Any thoughts?
