MERCURY Prize winners Young Fathers have sold so few copies of their triumphant album that they could have bought the lot with their £20,000 prize money - and still have change left over.

The Edinburgh-based act had shifted 2368 copies of Dead by this week - and had added only an extra 561 sales since they were placed on the top music prize shortlist.
