Thread Name: A kick in the head for CD retailers
Subject: RE: A kick in the head for CD retailers
Took a look at Amazon.com.
One or two good sets- My Dusty Road, Woody Guthrie, $65.95; companion dealers from $56.10; mp3 $36.49.

(Hard to go through the listings, tons of Holy Modal Rounders- but put " " around Rounder records and a fairly pure sort comes up).

Some still $12.98, but a lot more at $15.98, as posted above. This is unnecessary. The extra $3.00 seems like gouging.

However, there are a fair number of used listed at low prices; these are a good deal but won't last.

The sad part is that Concord may not record new material of 'Rounder' type.

Most of my current wants are in old music, so I buy mostly from UK dealers. A specialized want, so I don't see cds replaced any time soon.
