I have noticed this too over the past year or so. I also noticed that
the price of single CD's has gone up (from 14.99 to 15.99 at Tower),
whereas double CD's have gone down (from over $20, to under).
I know that many UK & european CD's are being sold to stores via a
distributor (ie. Dutch East, World, Soleilmoon) or are getting US labels
(Astralwerks) to
slap domestic stickers on them & being sold at domestic prices.
But this doesn't account for all of the cheaper imports, only
labels that these distributors have picked up (incoming!,em:t,
Sub Rosa, Touch/Ash, Crammed/SSR, Dorado, Beyond etc.) and
then it is generally only full length, regular CD's that get
such distribution.
