Maybe for major labels, $13.00/each, but not for budget ones. Then there are
the reissues from major labels of wonderful performances from the 1950's
through 1970's, also cheaper, not to mention the real "bottom dog" issues,
you know, Gunter Wunderlich and the Northwest Bavarian Statsorchester. (Any
similarities of this conductor and orchestra to actual ones, living or dead,
is purely coincidental!) I get the whole range of prices when I walk into a
record store.
