TransWorld Yanks Scissors Sisters New Album Over Price Criticism
October 1, 2006 -- Losing sales from a hot CD is the last thing the country's largest music retailer needs - but that's exactly what happened after Trans World Entertainment decided to boycott the new Scissor Sisters' album after the band's lead singer said the chain's $20 retail price was too high.
Trans World, which operates 800-plus stores under the Sam Goody, FYE, Coconuts and other nameplates, pulled the Scissor Sisters new release, "Ta-Dah," after lead singer Jack Shears sang out about the company's pricing policy.
"I have a little F.Y.I for FYE, your CD prices are too high," Shears said in the middle of the band's set at the National Association of Recording Merchandisers convention.
