on this site, according to Minneapolis Star Tribune, (September 1993) Symbol album had sold 2,450,000 - dunno how accurate this site is, but it provides a bunch of stats

i agree with that assestment that the ACT 1 tour was wayyyyy better imo

but then again act 2 was designed 2 b the last time prince would per4m certain songs ..i'm still waiting on that day that he puts them away 4 good
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81
