When compact discs became the norm for music media in 1983, I was excited by it, the possibilities of them lasting longer, being easier to store and sounding better....but remember being so disappointed that the days of those large albums were coming to a close...
...once in an apartment in Oklahoma, i attached all my vinyl record collection to the wall with Funtac, corners touching, so there was this kind of checkerboard effect of the album covers...and when i wanted to listen to any music, i'd walk over to the wall and pull the disc out and put it on the turntable. No more hunting through stacks of albums and scattering them on the floor and being fearful of stepping on them. I t was an interesting art piece and functional too. I'm always impressed and pleased by anything that is both utilitarian and artistic. It wouldn't be the same to use the CD's because obviously, they are in a hard plastic box and you'd have to really squint to appreciate the cover art.
Ah...nostalgia.
