very expensive CD, but why?
on: August 28, 2009, 03:18:37 AM
I was just looking at a movie soundtrack on Amazon.  Title remains nameless to protect the innocent.  ::)  Not a hugely well-known movie.  The composer was imitating another modern classical composer.

And the CD is about $100.  The DVD of the movie is only about $5. 

Even if the music by itself is very popular, I would think that would put it in the $15 range.  And if it wasn't popular, I would think it would be very cheap just so the businesses could unload the material.  But there are at least thirty places selling it.

I'm mystified.  It was never a popular movie.  It's not a big comeback movie.  Why would there be so many of the soundtracks out there, but at such a high price?  It's not an import either.

So of course now I want one too.  ::)
