I saw an article on the Wall Street Journal ("Universal Slashes Its CD
Prices In Bid to Revive Music Industry" by Ethan Smith, Sep 3, 2003)
from which comes the following excerpt:

   The new CD pricing, set to take effect by the beginning of
   October, affects almost all of Universal's offerings, new and
   old, from Ashanti to Abba to Louis Armstrong. Only classical
   and Latin-music titles and multi-CD boxed sets are excluded.
   The music giant is achieving the price reduction by lowering
   the top wholesale price it charges retailers to $9.09 from
   $12.02.  Wholesale prices on a handful of top-selling artists
   will be $10.10.

So, I guess no cause for joy for classical music CD buyers.  Ah well...
