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.
