Universal is dropping the European pricing on 1500 classic albums including titles from The Who, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley and others. These titles will now sell for about 6.99 euros ($8.89) and 5.49 pounds ($10.43) down from 9.99 euros and 7.99 pounds respectively. Download single pricing is not be affected. Other labels are expected to follow suit creating a downward spiral in catalog prices which could create an upswing in consumer interest and US price cuts won’t be far behind. Not surprisingly Apple says they will keep the original higher pricing on all titles.
