Sales are not everything. Making a great record most likely means low sales because its the commercial shit that sells.. look at slaughter. Problem with slaughter only two good songs on first album and the girl on cover took album sales over the edge. Up all night .. good shit. The rest shit shit.
I had a few tapes with one or two good songs (singles) and the rest garbage. I always loved those albums that were loaded with great songs like the black album.

Still despite the lack of radio play, there were the occasional new talent breakthroughs: the Outfield scored with its rock/pop Columbia debut album, “Play Deep”, Metallica’s Elektra album “Master of Puppets” cracked the top 30; Cinderella notched a gold album with is debut Polygram release “Night Songs”, band like the Smithereens, the Rainmakers, the BoDeans, Megadeth and Vinnie Vincent Invasion began to make waves.

Since to some of you-- video play is so important--
How many weeks after INVASION was on the Billboard album charts until the video was played on MTV?
And what was the albums chart position the week it was added?

Who gives a shit? Last time I looked at my calendar we're coming up to the year 2013. Given that VV hasn't done anything constructive music wise for over 2 decades now, I can understand the constant chatter here amongst the fans longing for something new to be released, but seriously, having these discussions about what may or may not have taken place in 1986 makes no fucking sense to me at all.....???
In fact, all it does is reinforce the bleating obvious........Vinnie Vincent is a FUCKING HAS BEEN!!!
He may have been sometime a long, long time ago (for a whole 15 minutes), but sheesh, arguing about how many records sold, who screwed who over, not getting paid his dues etc. doesn't change the fact that VV totally fucked his own career.
