     Aren't CDs in Britain 12 quid?  8 CDs times 12p is 96p, or roughly $192.
Imported and sold in US for $199 makes sense, although I'm sure they're sold
for less in _some_ US locales and Canada.  The box is severely overpriced for
domestic CDs, but imports are normally $22 around here, times 8 is $176.  It
seems to make _some_ sense.  It would be nice if EMI-America would put out a
set.  Ha.
     Champaign-Urbana being such a Kate-fan town (intense sarcasm intended)
the one and only shop here that carries the Box sells it for $199, $140 for the
LP set (which sold out.)  Now the only LP set that exists in town goes for 200
bloody dollars, too.
     I'm certainly not going to pay $200 for two CDs.  On tape is fine with me.
     Thanks for the lyrics, Vickie.  I'm still Happy-less, but when Rose get's
in her CD...
     Happy KaTeing.
