You are absolutely right. The prices of CDs was totally outrageous, and still are !
In my local music shops they are still selling CDs of recent albums for $20 ! and a lot of middle rating CDs are still $13 or more.
This is why piracy of music is alive and well.

Sadly the publishing industry seems to have learnt nothing.
