For people like me who like to keep the CDs and DVDs on separate shelves,
I'm not so sure this is a good idea (I'm still figuring out what to do
with the Stillwater CD that comes with the _Almost Famous_ DVD).  But as
far as prices go ... well, isn't it a little odd that the two-channel CD
soundtrack to the concert film _Down from the Mountain_ should have a
suggested retail price of $18.98, while the DVD, which has visuals and
Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, should cost just one dollar more?  Heck, I
haven't seen the film or heard the CD for myself, but at 98 minutes, for
all I know, the film might even have more music than the CD does.
