Deleted: LP that was TOO Popular
The Raver
Melody Maker, Jul 1972
The Faust Tapes, Virgin's cheap album currently at number 18 in the MM chart will be deleted on July 20. Reason? Well, it was too popular.

At 48p a go, the album costs more to produce than the price it sells for. So, on 60,000 sales Virgin have already LOST £2,000. Such are the crazy economics of the business... or so they say.

Oh, and the artwork was by Bridget Riley.

[edit]

I'd query the date in the MM snippet - I think it should be 1973.
