Dire Straits: Communiqué (Warner Bros.) and The Cars: Candy-O (Elektra) are two follow-ups to albums that were large -and largely surprise-hits some months back.

Taylor, taking advantage of changing markets as well as men, quietly sold the stone for nearly $3 million to New York City Jeweler Henry Lambert. Two bidders, neither of them American, are dealing with Lambert for the clear white, 58-facet stone. Both want...
...price of an average album. "I don't see why digital recordings have to cost $15," says RCA's Shepard, who is preparing to undercut the competition with a $10 digital record of Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra in hot pursuit of a Bartok concerto.
