£8.97 I think. But there is a very real issue with supermarkets cherry picking known bankers, piling them high and selling them cheap (well cheaper). It stifles diversity and creativity. What's also worrying is that supermarkets are getting involved in the creative process - working with labels to minimise risk in the development of new artists - and, in the States, censoring artists (labels have to produce Walmart friendly versions of releases in case the odd swear word upsets customers as they unpack their bags of personal ammunition!).
As for trying to increase online charging; it'll only backfire on them as legal downloaders return to Bearshare etc. They are thick, greedy sods!
