THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The world’s largest
recording company said Wednesday it would
slash wholesale compact disc prices in hopes
of reviving music sales, which have dropped
31 percent industrywide in the last three years.
The suggested retail price on a majority of
its CDs will be cut by $6 to
$12.98, said Universal Music
Group representatives.
Retailers have the final say on
pricing, and UMG hopes the
actual sales price will drop to
about $10 or less.
Consumers could begin
seeing the price changes as
early as Oct. 1.
“We expect (this) will
invigorate the music market in
North America,” said Doug
Morris, UMG Chairman and
CEO.

— Doug Morris
Universal Music Chairman and
CEO
UMG, the market leader among the world’s
five major recording companies, said some
multiple disc packages or CD box sets would
not be included in the pricing change.
Officials at EMI, BMG and Warner Music
Group declined to comment. Sony Music Group
officials could not be reached immediately.
UMG’s current wholesale price for a CD
album is $12.02. Under the new pricing struc
ture, the wholesale price would be $9.09.
UMG’s artists include U2, Sting and Jimi
Hendrix. The wholesale price for CDs by a
handful of performers, including Eminem and
Shania Twain, will be about a dollar more, said
Jim Urie, president of Universal Music &
Video Distribution.
The company also plans
to cut wholesale prices on its
cassettes and change the
suggested retail price to
$8.98.
Josh Bernoff, an analyst
with Forrester Research, said
the decision to cut prices
underscores how badly the
industry has been hurting.
‘That is very significant.
That’s basically saying. ‘We
give up,”’ he said.

sales declined from $14.6
