 :: Jack paid for gas for the rental car with the pittance from gigs, and nobody was there to see Melissa Nadler on that tour, and turn out sucked for the last one. I've got recordings from those shows and him and Peter Walker my living room. I'd word this different, myself, but I don't know "Wikipedia Standards" yet. It's hardly "unfortunate", no more than it is that old Fahey, Basho, etc. LPs cost a lot. Widely popular stuff? Millions of copies sold, but (industry secret) at least as many not sold. The reason these (Jack's LPs) sell for so much is because (1) his fan base was sadly small; (2) those few fans recognize(d) his brilliance and seek them out (3) the very limited pressings of his LPs, etc. OK, if there's a way to do a numbered list, let me know. I have proof: I mastered a bunch of those LPs, like Eclipse releases. Look up how many copes of "Red Mule, White Mule" LP on Eclipse were issued? As I recall, it was 500? No, notes say 350. I dunno, will have to call Ed @ Eclipse. I received 20 copies for payment. Still have some. I should sell them, but only once I figure out how much $$$ I would have liked to make.
