XPath selecting multiple nodes

I have a XML file and I want to select title, year and price nodes from all CD's from EU, having the price between 7 and 10. I tried in this way //CD[contains(COUNTRY,"EU")] but is showing all the elements from CD nodes. how to make an XPath to show just specific elements (TITLE, YEAR and PRICE).

Try:

//CD[COUNTRY/text()="EU"]/*[self::TITLE or self::YEAR or self::PRICE]

It selects only those CDs that have EU as COUNTRY and then selects all children having the tag name equal to TITLE or YEAR or PRICE.
