When I was in Italy a couple weeks ago I went into a CD store and nearly shat myself. Crazy prices. But I did get 3 remastered Velvet Underground CD's for 15 Euros. Only CD's I bought there.

It's true...the prices between Canada/Euros are nearly equivalent. I mean it like, if a shirt here costs $30, it costs 30 euros. And 1 euro = 1.8 Canadian, or something like that. I was pissed, I couldn't buy anything in Italy.

Well, thats what you get for living in Europe.

Cd prices in US chain store are almost always as horrendous as they are in English chain stores. If anything, the stores here seem to have better sales than American stores, even if the regular prices are just as bad.

I didn't follow Jondur on the Candlemass cd, but I made it up By getting the Gallery.

Oh and I know these are a lot of cd's, but I figured to save on sending costs and order them all at once, I've been wanting these cd's for ages, but no stores sell them.
I'm spending about 1/5 of the money I earned with summer job. :thumb:


Oh and for the non Euro users :

€9.99 = $12.35 = £6.67
€14.99 = $18.53 = £10.01
€14.49 = $17.91 = £9.6
€7.77 = $9.6 = £5.19
€15.49 = $19.15 = £10.35
€10.99 = $13.5 = £7.34
€6.99 = $8.6 = £4.67


For your convenience. :thumb[/QUOTE]

Dropkick Murphys - Sing loud, sing proud €7.77

I've not even seen some singles that cheap. At the best, the cheapest album I can get here if £7, but its usually something like Korn's first one :upset:
I should start ordering on-line more, do you get a resonable discount for buying in batch?

Paranoidd 08-17-2004 09:36 AM

15 euros for Reign in Blood!

Don't you guys have used CD stores or pawnshops? I got RIB for $2, nearly mint.

superpeer 08-17-2004 09:42 AM

Meh, no pawnshops as far as I know, and the used CD storesusually doesn't have a lot of good things.

Bartender 08-17-2004 09:48 AM

Yeah, I've never seen Reign in Blood offline for cheaper than £16 over here.

manuscriptreplica 08-17-2004 09:48 AM

I got about 12 CDs for $150, which is about $12.50 a cd. Which is ridiculously cheap in Australia.

Dancin' Man 08-17-2004 09:52 AM

I generally buy offline. The free CD clubs work well too if you make sure to check the box saying you don't want anything extra.
The big problem with both of those if finding what I want. Post-rock is really hard to find cheap (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky) and that's all I've wnated lately. Oh well.

That is very cheap, from what little I know of Australian dollars. br3ad seems to get incredibly cheap used CDs all the time (like $1-$5). Which 12 were they?

gmoneyguy 08-17-2004 09:54 AM

I get my cds from best buy :lol:

Dancin' Man 08-17-2004 09:55 AM

Best Buy is pretty cheap and a pretty good selection.

[QUOTE=Fast Fingers]Best Buy is pretty cheap and a pretty good selection.[/QUOTE]

yep I was surprised they had children of bodom there.

now its time for physics :wave: yayy test!

Dancin' Man 08-17-2004 10:01 AM

They generally have a rack of CD's there for $7 or $8. They generally suck but the fact that they have it is cool.

Paranoidd 08-17-2004 10:03 AM

Sometimes chain stores have pretty good deals.

For example they have a bunch of CD's on @ 2 for $30 Canadian (About 25 American or 15 Euro).

I picked up Lateralus and Number of the Beast, and they had alot more good CD's in that rack.

CD's are just too pricey...and then they wonder why people burn CD's.

Dancin' Man 08-17-2004 10:05 AM

I hate having burned CDs. It just doesn't feel the same as having the real thing with album art and the original case.

Paranoidd 08-17-2004 10:07 AM

I have alot of retail CD's, but I would not be able to buy all the CD's I have burnt. I have too many bills to pay.

superpeer 08-17-2004 10:07 AM

Yeah, I hate burned CD's.


In Fact, I have 70% real cd's and 30% copied, I think.

Bartender 08-17-2004 10:14 AM

I also hate burned CDs. I have one copied CD, and that's Weezer's Green Album, which I was given without asking for it :)

Dancin' Man 08-17-2004 10:19 AM

Alot of times what I do to get CD's I want is get free ones form a radiostation (promo copies) that I don't really want but get a ton of them and then trade them with my brother for the CD's of his I want. Works wel.

Needs to be known outside the death heads.

Dancin' Man 08-17-2004 10:53 AM

Won't let me listen.

Paranoidd 08-17-2004 11:05 AM

Are they like dance remixes or something?

Bartender 08-17-2004 11:05 AM

EDIT: ^yeah.

[QUOTE=Fast Fingers]Won't let me listen.[/QUOTE]

Well, they're dance remixes of classic metal/hard rock songs. The concept alone is horrific and hilarious. Actually hearing them is just a bonus :)

Paranoidd 08-17-2004 11:09 AM

Yeah, unfortunately, a good 90% of dance music is utter shyte (I like dance music, just FYI), but alot of no-talent producers have the balls to sample a song, apply a one note bassline, some distorted strings and call it a "remix"

Its ridiculous. You should hear what some of these people have "remixed"...

Another Brick in the Wall...California Dreaming...Riders on the Storm <-- actually that one isn't bad.

I used to DJ house music, and I still produce some (those production skills come in handy for recording my own music :thumb: )

But most dance music is shyte, period.

Bartender 08-17-2004 11:18 AM

Have they announced that they're doing it?

Dancin' Man 08-17-2004 11:19 AM

INTERRUPTION! I just changed my AIM screen name again. I have a habit of doing this. This one is my favorite - I Like To Act Gay. It would've been Gay Tendencies but that was taken. Oh well, resume conversation.

Paranoidd 08-17-2004 11:20 AM

Hacked account or just random rant?

Paranoidd 08-17-2004 11:25 AM

:upset:

I can just imagine Fieldy doing a slap bassline on the song...oh man I feel sick.
