A certain Kurt Hamster, of uk.rec.audio "fame", writes :

If CDs are
really so crap then how is it that the music business were able to make
such huge amounts of money out of selling remastered CD collections at a
premium ?

Partly because they changed the sale or return policies for LPs. Stores
were no longer willing to order/stock LPs for that reason. This in turn
had the knock-on effect of increasing CD sales as that was the only
alternative (discounting MC of course).

So everyone would merrily be listening to LPs then ? If people were
clamouring for LPs then why did the price of second hand vinyl go so low
?

Do you reckon the same is happening to VHS vis. DVD ?
