CDs and Playlists

I don’t think there is a playlist specifically for CDs. So here goes.

CDs seem to have lost favor to the masses. Probably due to the resurgence of vinyl, use of streaming services and digital downloads. I find CDs for $0.50 to $1. I remember when finding great LPs for a buck or less, was commonplace.

Beth Orton - Superpinkymandy, 1993
Limited edition of 5000, Japan only.

Not all CDs are cheap. Paid $240 for this rare, CD only album in 2011. It was rare enough, I added it to Discogs. It has maintained its value and has gone as high as $500. And the music is excellent. There are other high value CDs out there.

Nacho Sotomayor - La Roca Vol 2, 2001
Awhile back someone on AK helped me ID a song. Couple weeks later the CD popped up on eBay. Paid about $15 from Germany. I get it and find an Amoeba clearance sticker on it. At the time an Amoeba store was a couple miles from my home in California. Good stuff.

When they were introduced I remember the format’s lifespan was said to be around 15 years, possibly longer.

I remember something like that too, back then. I Googled the life expectancy of CDs and it has increased to 50 to 200 years. I have bunch for the early 90s, they are holding up. I back them up onto multiple hard drives, so the music is good.

It's the golden age for old and obscure music lovers with the CD compilations. I'm posting this Magic Sam CD as an example. All his early 45's on a single CD. Stuff that's nearly impossible to find at any price. Plus, a lot of live recordings never before released, studio outtakes, field recordings, just an amazing array of roots music. For those of us who just want to listen to the music, now is the time to search out and build your music library.
