No Sale

So, why aren't people buying records like they used to. Is it illegal downloading? Lack of good product? Bad economy? Or high CD prices? I say the latter. While you can pay $9.99 for an Itunes album download, you'll could pay 3 or more dollars higher at a music store. The outrage over not being able to buy a new CD or an older catalog title for under $10 seems to grow by the minute. Friends tell me if it's not on sale they won't buy it. And if they can't find it used they won't buy it, and don't get them started on paying less for an Itunes download. Best Buy has had the last Levon Helm album sitting on their shelves for $13.99. I've tried to get a promo copy for months, but no go. I'd consider buying it if was under $10. Used copies are but the shipping brings it back to $13. So, it may be months or years before I buy the damn thing. People aren't buying records anymore because the price is too high. All CD's should sell for under $10. Older catalog even less. If you're one of the lucky ones who can afford to go to Borders and drop $15 bucks on a CD, I envy you. The rest of the Country is looking for a deal. If we don't get it, we don't buy it. And nobody is buying CD's like they used to.
