What Tower Records charge for CDs is criminal. Here in NYC the same opera set which sells for approx. $53 can be found for $41 at J&R Musicworld everyday or cheaper at Amazon. Whats worse is the number of "imported" recording that Tower sells in its classical department. A 2 disc debussy piano recording (DG label) I bought a year ago at J&R for $21 is listed at $41 or $44 at Tower; and just because its labeled "Imported"!!! and for the same aluminum CD!!! There is no argument that warrants that kind of price difference.The bottom line, as Oakroot has stated, is that it doesn't cost that much to manufacture CDs, promote and advertise, and pay the artist (who I believe only gets like $1.00 for each CD sold! at best); the rest is all profit for the record company. Why do you think all these artists are trying to sell direct to their fans thru the net? They can manufacture their own CDs and mail order or just have people download from their websites for a fee. Either way it would be more profitable for them.
