Again at $20 a CD? Yep, just as overpriced as Volume One.
Depends on how you define overpriced. For me, a bunch of volumes of every
Motown single A and B-side, with copious notes on every song in a great
bound-in book, housed in a nicely-designed library case with a replica 45
slid
into the front at $79.95 is a bargain.
Considering how Universal already owns the rights to the music, and did the
entire project in-house, $20-per-CD qualifies as price-gouging. It's surely no
"bargain." Thank goodness Stax (the far better label, IMO) never stooped so
low. The Stax singles boxes. Now those are bargains.
