Sorry if this has already been covered and i missed it.... but is Billy seriously expecting people to pay £20 plus postage for his new album?

http://www.amazon.co...tt_mus_ep_dpi_1

Surely this must be a mistake?

Well technically Billy over sees his music, especially since he left major labels a few years back?

I should hope so, something should be done though, what bout all the people pre-ordering it and paying all that money unnecessarily?

So what is Amazon playing at? Is Billy aware of this?
I was fortunate enough to find out the price plan is incorrect on here, but what about the people that dont use this forum etc they might unwillingly be spending alot of money or even put off buying the album.

if you're paying £20 for a cd without realising that you're seriously overpaying, then it's your own fault.
and if you agree to pay £20 for it, then you have no right to complain. you thought it was a fair price and bought it. the end.

also, unless that copy on amazon.co.uk is an import, the price will still drop to a more normal price, like £8.99 or something, and everyone who preordered at £20 will only be charged this lowest price.

and they have free shipping worldwide.

the thing with wow is that you're never sure where your cd comes from. so if this is important to you, you should think twice. sometimes you get a european cd, sometimes it's australian, and the next time it's indonesian or malaysian or something. they work with so many providers from everywhere. if a cd is that cheap (and just out), my bet is that it's from malaysia or something.

I swear it was initially £8.99, hopefully the high price is a mistake.
