I saw something like that in the US too a couple of weeks ago. It was a set of three Bob Dylan albums that was priced as if they were a single album. I have to assume it was a mistake as each individual album was also available individually for the same or more (in both original and remastered versions).

ITMS track prices are fixed by country (99c in the US, 79p in the UK, etc); the company publishing a track to the store cannot set the price of its tracks. Album prices, however, can be set to whatever the publisher wants. There’s an album out there somewhere that only costs 49c, for example.

These things do come up on itms occasionally and are worth looking out for. The Emerson String Quartet had 7 CDs worth of beethoven for 7.99, though I see it’s gone back up to £55 now…
