iTunes deal (screwup?) of the century: The 55 CD anthology "111 Years of Deutsche Grammophon" is only $9.99
My friend Jen posted a link to this deal dubbing it the "Deal of the Century." I clicked 'Buy Album' within seconds.
To re-emphasize, that's 730 tracks / 2:10:06:35 time / 6GB worth of music for $9.99! It's almost certainly a pricing error on the Canadian iTunes store. It's listed at $119.99 in the US store. (Canadians get free healthcare AND iTunes deals!)
Deal or no deal, this is a pretty fantastic collection from probably the best classical recording label in the world. This ain't no second-tier, discount-bin "Classical Greatest Hits". Here's a press release-ey statement:
Deutsche Grammophon’s president Michael Lang said, “Deutsche Grammophon remains the preeminent classical recording company – presenting the finest in recorded music by the best artists – while anticipating and fulfilling the evolving interests of its old and new audiences. Deutsche Grammophon is poised for a vibrant future as remarkable as its storied past.”

To all my Canadian friends, I'm officially considering you an idiot if you don't take advantage of this temporary price anomaly.
