$9.99 for a new CD release, yes it has happened


I went in Tower today and they had Rodney Crowell's new CD for $9.99. I almost fell over. Too bad the new Carla Bley I wanted was $18.99.

about time

the cost to reproduce versus selling cost has never been worse than the cd market - shame on them
unfortunately its the record company making the big bucks
putting out crap product and blaiming it all on the music public "burning" everything.
my daughter is part of the problem (no - it's simple economics she can't fork out $18 for music so she goes to mp3s - plus her attention span is only 2 months of burnout on anything she listens to)

sorry Charles, I buy plenty of music - but I really have to dig these days for any new quality product
(the bands exist - they just don't push the ones with talent and potential)

but now that I have a fancy Nottingham turntable
I'm mostly kissing the huge markup on cds a big and cold goodby

can't get that vpi cleaner fast enough
