When #CDs came with this explanatory text. Presumably in case someone tried putting one on a #turntable and dropped the #stylus were puzzled as to why no sound came out. #physicalmusic #cdcommunity #blueskymusic #charityshop #thriftshop #cdcollection #cd #cds #compactdisc #compactdiscs

It's very noble of you to keep them from seeing the light of day again, perhaps we need a trench in the middle of the North Atlantic where they can be encased in concrete and kept away from humankind.

Millennial record buyer beware: your grandparents bought these #topofthepops #70smusic #compilations only to discover they're soundalike cover versions. Like an unflushable turd they pop up in #charityshops to catch out and disappoint a new generation of unwary #music fans. #vinyl #recordshop

Marantz’s CD-73, this is what a high end #CDplayer looked like in 1983 and isn't it a beauty? However it came at a price, it weighed about 8kg and was made of cast iron (that's one moderately fancy road bike or two averagely proportioned cats) and cost £500 or £1600 in today's money. #Marantz
