of 1986 as compared to the first half of 1985 Although fewer than million CD’s were sold in the U.S in 1984, there were approximately 50 million sold in 1986 It is likely that the sales would have been even higher were it not for the price CD’s cost nearly twice as much as LP’s In the near future, however, prices should lower as more production facilities open
