I was whining here recently about the price of new Neil Young product from some retailers, pointing out that the Heart Of Gold DVD was variously priced: £22 at Fopp, £25 at HMV, and £12 in FNAC, Valencia.
My cheapskate instinct in foregoing all three offers was justified this week when I ordered it from amazon.co.uk for under £6, delivered.
Great news for the grown-up music buyer, but it bodes ill for bricks and mortar retailers - unless they smarten up, and pronto.
