And the pricing of 15 dollars in 1987 seems off, when super communist socialist expensive Sweden had a new LP cost $7.65 in 1992
in the mid 90’s I distinctly remember paying 19.99 for cds
all I’m saying is pricing is relative. It’s like when my grandma says “gas use to cost a nickle” true but you also only made $3,000 a year in the 1950’s
its irrational to Not expect prices to go up. Popular artists costing more than a no name band is also somewhat to be expected
In 1992 a new CD here cost 115 SEK ($10.90)
When I bought new CD:s (single disc releases) in the late 90s they where strictly 149 SEK ($14), other than in maybe a gas station or something where they could be 159-169 SEK. I find it surprising prices in the US where more expensive.
But the price going up is not the issue, who has talked about that as an issue? Everyone knows about inflation. But inflation doesn't hit different artists differently.
