So in my book about Herb Alpert, I mention that when Shout! Factory re-issued those classic albums in 2005 (and for several years after that) those albums sold well for re-issues. I thought it would be nice to support that claim with some facts, so I mentioned that five of those CDs – plus Definitive Hits – became top sellers on cdUniverse.com.
I wonder if I could provide any other statistics to support that claim. On these boards, I found mention that, for instance, the first three made it to the Amazon Top 300, with South of the Border making it up to #65. I saw a later claim that Whipped Cream & Other Delights was at #32 at the time. But I don’t see any way to look up Amazon’s old charts to confirm these claims. Nor do I see any other site helpful for these purposes, other than cdUniverse.com.
Can anyone point me to a good source?
