Click the picture and you’ll see it came from iTunes Music Store, but those familiar with the service will already recognize the format.

So the reason I posted this is because when Apple premiered iTMS store, Steve Job was hyping how albums where $9.90 and songs $0.99. Ya, not so. This is becoming more and more common on iTMS to find albums more then 10 bux. In fact, Lisa Marie here is asking for what you’d pay for a CD. You know, liner notes and all? So, outside of convenience, there really is no good reason to get this album from iTMS. In fact, you could probably shop around on the Internet and find this in CD form cheaper.

So what gives? Heck, why would anyone pay this much for Lisa Marie anyway? Looks like some labels are gettin’ greedy on a way cool service. Bummer.

    What a bummer. And for Lisa? She sux!

    I noticed an album for 12 bux last week and thought that maybe it was a fluke. What a bummer!!
