This is one of the most absurd facts there is.

Back in the eighties when CDs were introduced, they were NOK 165 a piece for a new release.

Last time I dropped by my friendly neighbourhood dealer (of music, that is), the CD rack said CDs were NOK 189.

165 1985-kroner equals nigh on 500 2025-kroner.

Incidentally, an LP back then was NOK 89, equivalent to NOK 270 today - whereas an LP today would set me back approx. NOK 399.

Good thing my employer pays me significantly better than my parents did in the eighties. I can still sustain my music habit.
