We've sometimes talked about the outrageously high prices of CDs as a factor, but I was 
just wondering:  If you adjust for inflation, is a CD really more expensive than an LP album 
was in the 1950s?  An LP album used to cost something like $3.98 back then, but a 
postage stamp cost 3 cents.  How do the prices actually compare?
