I remember the average pop LP selling for somewhere around  $3 to $4 
in 1960. This is about $20 to $27 in 2007 dollars. So music 
prices  in real dollars have actually declined, especially when you 
take into account the fact that the average 1960 pop LP had 30 
minutes of music, and many CDs have more.
