Overall: 
The hook isn't the hookiest possible. Perhaps something like "...that although only 283 copies of Thin Lizzy's debut single were sold on release, they have more recently been valued at around £800 each?" What do you think, Ritchie333? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:46, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- That sounds too long / wordy, and the source is from 2006, so not particularly recent. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:58, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
I guess the current hook will have to do then. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:50, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
