Really-From: Vulture of Light <trainor@CS.UCLA.EDU> So all you kate heads, how much are you paying for your godesses compact discs? You shouldn't be paying more than $11.00 For those emi-america releases. Don't believe what they tell you. I went to tower yesterday and witnessed that, indeed, sst has successfully entered into the cd market. But, i ask, why did tower have them ridiculously priced? $17 Or $18?!?!? Is this some insane markup, or just the standard markup? The answer is that it is the insane markup, because they think people will pay it--well, don't! I saw black flag's _who's got the 10-1/2?_ And decided to give it a try, it was the standard price--$11.00 Plus that tax that adds up fast. The bonus is that they include all those extra tracks that they put on tape but not on the album.
