While I'm not happy to see astralwerks charging as much as they do for CD singles. I will say one thing on their behalf. It
costs almost as much to put out a single as it does to put out a full length LP. Labels still have to pay for the media used,
printing(which is usually about 3/4 to all of what an album usually has), and jewel boxes. If you've noticed, warp cuts
corners on alot of their cd singles to cut down on some of this by only having the purple and white sleeves instead of full
color like astralwerks has and also using the slimline cases.
That all being said, it still sucks to see domestic singles at $8.99. Maybe they should tack on a few extra tracks or
something to justify they cost.
I got my copy of Block Rockin' Beats for $7.99 which is a little bit cheaper
