Sixty pounds! How can anyone attempt to justify that ridiculous
overpricing? I recall trying to get Cornelius and Boredoms import CDs
in the US ten years ago, and they were $50 US even then, just crazy.
(Of course, bootleg retail prices are just as bad). At that time I
saw the band live for $15 (US), which sort of shows the dichotomy of
why many think the music industry rips people off. --- In
