What's the average sales per issue, chaps?

I have posted you my questionnaire.

RobM. a.k.a. Curly Bob.

Rob,
We think it's just under 300 copies per issue. The first couple of issues we made 250 and sold out within one game. So we increased it to 300 copies and the only issue we didn't sell out of making this amount was Issue 8.
Hopefully with potentially bigger crowds next year we can increase it again.
Thanks for your input this year, keep it up. And thanks for returning the survey.
James

Shrimperman, it is indeed Ben Folds, formerly of Ben Folds Five, now enjoying an awesome solo career. He is quite frankly, a genius. Saw him at the Barbican last week and i've never seen such a good fantastic live performance, the atmosphere in there was amazing.

Looks a bit weird to me.

ahhr i was wondering where i knew that face from! yeah he's got a new commercial release out on tv at the moment - sounds good. was also playing the same song on jonathan ross show a few weeks back. iv never seen him live or heard any other of his solo stuff but definately rate this release. do you know if he is playing at any festivals this summer?

p.s sorry for anyone who finds this non-football topic irelevant and annoying!

I don't think he's playing any festivals. He's touring at the moment but i think he's going back to the US at the end of the tour which finishes at the end of the month. The new single (Landed) is a good tune but i think most of us 'Foldians' would agree that it's one of the weaker songs on 'Songs For Silverman' and i'm quite surprised he released it as a single. Still, it looks like it's gonna do quite well. I'd advise you to get into him if you like it. Start with some early Ben Folds Five stuff ('Naked Baby Photos' 'Ben Folds Five'), then get 'Rockin' The Suburbs'- this was his first proper solo album and it's a classic.

No worries. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. He's an amazing talent.
