Sony corp .. bought up the major record companies here, tossed out many of the older artists even though some of their sales were still quite reasonable (manager of a major nationwide retail chain music store told me one of such albums had never left the national top 100 in 20 years.) Thus these artists had to go independent for both recording & have all their CD's catalogues pressed & distributed. Sony certainly did not reduce the prices of CD's here, to the contrary!
