it just shows how greedy the corporate music industry is. they will
do anything to get money, even if it means exploiting music lovers.
Anything for Wall street, as they say. things have changed so much.
what happned to the days when you could go to the off the street
music shop and find rarities? How I wished I lived in the late 1970's
and was a part of the punk scene where everything was diy, new,
discovery. now you have to pay so much money to hmv and virgin for an
overpriced boxed set or cd to get to discover new things. because of
this, i have not been able to really start or complete my
collections. I mean, $18.99 for a cd, $109 or more for a boxed set?
get the hell outta here!
