had a few cd's on today, winding down for the weekend. i stumbled across a cd with the price label still on it from the record shop (remember them) that i'd bought it from. the price was £15.49 for the cd. this was in 2002. in todays terms i would guess that would be double now!
is there any wonder the music shops have all but vanished off the planet.?you can understand why napster was so popular back then when buying music was ridiculously expensive.
in my local town we had 5 or 6 shops selling cds/lp/tapes back in the late 80's. they have all gone. we now have one "boutique" style shop that sells records and cd's but its small scale, and limited stock.
i miss browsing in music shops, but i don't miss the excessive prices.
the music industry always blamed the pirates for copying and selling music. i think the music industry killed itself. with pricing. there's no wonder i only bought the odd cd every now and then, at that price.
