I see it mentions in Germany, but not the UK, thats because all the major music labels know that it's easier to get the what there looking for in the UK than anywhere else, because people are foolish enough to go out and pay £15 - £25 for the latest CD's.


And lets face it, the music thats sells today is all manufactured pathetic SHIT.

So by Uk prices thats Approx £6.67119 GBP @ todays exchange rate... Hardly much of a saving for a disk with a title on and no covers etc....
Proberly going to make a larger profit margin on these than the "Full Fat" ones as they put it.
Sorry but its not enough they got to get under £5 to make people want to buy them, lets face it £2-£4 for a bootleg complete with a cover.....

Kleinkamp hopes consumers are willing to buy a legal copy of a music CD for a reasonable price,

The key word being "reasonable". Consumers have a different definition, as evidenced by the statement below.

Last year Universal Records lowered its CD prices in the US with 30 per cent to $12.98 (€10.55), but that had hardly any effect on record sales. ®
