It's the number of people who bought Il Sogno, followed by the number of people who have managed to listen to it all the way through.

Or the number of years since My Aim is True, followed by the number of times its been reissued.

Does the "30:10" also count the second disc of "My Flame Burns Blue"? If so, I'm one of the 30, but not one of the 10...

Hence the 30 and the 10. I'll slink away now........
