my question is then... why is the "Knights Who Say"-CD and the HAB-CD $15.99
in the U.S., and the double 12" (FRIEND/DR. KOSMOS) $11.99, but the
12"singles are $8.99?  if the distribution is so well in the U.S. to merit
those GREAT "domestic-like" prices for the CD and double 12", why are we
forced to pay $8.99 when it seems it should be $5.99-$6.99?
I'm not really complaining as it may seem... just wondering.
