Before I buy anything at Amazon I check the price at importcds.com.Sometimes one is cheaper, sometimes the other.
I just bought half a dozen discs by a fav band, the Electric Light Orchestra. They were eight bucks at Amazon but $3.95 at importcds - half price.
There sure are some amazing prices on cd's these days if you shop around.
I remember 45 years ago paying $3.65 for an lp at E.J. Korvette. Now I can get a cd with over an hour of music for $3.95.
