NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Vivendi Universal's (V) Universal Music Group plans
to sharply lower the consumer cost for compact discs, in an effort to bring
customers back into retail stores and boost music sales.
In a press release (last) Wednesday, Universal Music said it will reduce
wholesale prices and implement a $12.98 manufacturer suggested retail price
on virtually all of its top-line CDs in the U.S.
The plan will eliminate MSRPs of as much as $18.98, and the company believes
retailers will start offering the cheaper CDs as soon as Oct. 1.
