In the pre-Internet early 90s, CDs were $15-25 (with inflation, about $40 now)…. And for a lot of music, you had no way of hearing it first. Shoplifting was popular.

Man came here to say this... Hell I was in a class action lawsuit in the early 2000s because of CD pricing. https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/cd-price-fixing-suit-settled-for-143-million-74008/

Shit was super expensive back in the day.

But as weird Al says... How else is he going to get a diamond encrusted swimming pool?

That’s why I always wore my umbro shorts with the inner liner before I went to Walmart
