expensive. Two songs for 50 cents or more, Bluebird was RCA's cheapo label
at 35 cents. Multiply by about 14 to get the equivalent in today's
dollars - very roughly the equivalent of $5 for a Bluebird 78 with two
songs..


That's about how much a modern-day 45rpm 7" single costs.....

A 12" club single (they call them extended mixes) now goes for
anywhere from U$7.00 to $20.00 depending on the artist.....

I've seen full-length LPs -- nowadays a lot of them are two-record
sets go for $30 if they're "imported" *eyeroll*
