Really!? I though I paid too much for the UK CD single at $16 here in
Brisbane, only to find the same at Braschs (of all places) for $5 a week
later.  To add insult to injury, when I was in Sydney last month, the 
Virgin megastore was selling the Australian pressing of the CD single (in
a slim cardboard cover, rather than the thicker UK one) for a whopping
great 95 cents.
