    $10 an album? Before Napster there was literally a class action lawsuit against the music industry because albums were like $22

      I bought my first album in 1977 for $7, which is $37 in today’s money. It’s pretty insane to think that the entire music industry back then was about getting people to pay $37 for a piece of plastic. Avocado toast eat your heart out.
