Yeah in HMV or WH Smith they charge ridiculous money for CDs, and especially Frontiers and Escape albums. Because unlike the new Adele album which they can sell a shitload of within hours and make the money back from under-cutting the competition, they may have about 5 copies of W.E.T (for example) in stock in total and still have 3 or 4 left in stock come the end of the year.
That's why I always buy online. But like I say, a jump from 8 quid to nearly 11 makes a bit of a dent when I do buy alot of music.
