David Harbin writes about the pros and cons of buying full-price CD's: >Pros > >You get the CD you want now. That's a very strong pro. I picture myself reading about a particular new disc and deciding I want it. When do I want it? Now. Otherwise, I have to wait years for the price to go down. In the worst scenario, the disc is quickly deleted and only comes back to life 15 years later without any U.S. distribution. Sorry, I'm not waiting 15 years for something I want now and can easily get now. If and when financial matters were to become quite tight, that's another story. David mentioned the now bargain prices of the Herreweghe Bach Cantata recordings. That's great, but I think it took a few years for it to happen. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
