Still buy cds all the time the only way I'll listen to music, no downloading or streaming for me. I'll always support physical media !!!

Among others, I actually have Sabbath’s Paranoid in this same Japan -only SACD series as the original album here on this list. It was like 5,000 Japanese yen when I bought it in Japan over ten years ago new, and I know it’s been valuable for years.

[@TheGoldenAgeofHardRock]

Thanks for the comment, DN, maybe you can educate me a bit. What is it that makes the Japan SACDs so collectible, is it the sound quality, packaging or overall rarity or something else entirely? Thanks

[@d.nakamura9579]

@@TheGoldenAgeofHardRock it’s a combination of all those factors that make certain SACD pressings really desirable. As a format, SACD is kinda like manual transmissions vs EVs.

As a Gen-Xer, I love having my music in the cloud and on my computer and phone, but I still buy used CDs. The kind of music I like is easy to find used, used CDs are generally super cheap, like 1/10th the price of buying the album on ITunes, and I can rip them into my online music collection so I have instant music anywhere AND physical media backups AND I own it 100% legally and no one can take it away. Best of both worlds, but that just describes Gen X right there! :)

Boomer here. I have around a thousand albums, over 100 cassettes, at least 50 HIFI music VHS tapes, 4000 CDs, numerous music DVDs and thousands of .flac and .mp3 downloaded files.

very interesting thanks - it shows that people are going back to good full bodied sound which can be obtained through a CD because they are recorded in WAV files which capture all of the sound. - While MP3 tracks which are most of what people download only capture part of the sound and actually cut off parts of the high end and the low end to make the tracks file footprint smaller.

The telling fact here is that just about everyone of these are SACDs, limited edition and rare, and/or signed by the artist/band. This doesn’t in anyway indicate that there’s a “CD collecting resurgence” sweeping across the universe. You CD collectors are funny. Are ya’ll feeling left out of the music format wars, or something…??? Funny. Anyway, I like CDs. I like vinyl more, but CDs are fine. I still buy them occasionally. I’m a Gen X’er, and when I was a kid, vinyl was towards the end of its run, but was still the top format. There has never been a time in my life when I didn’t own LPs or prefer the vinyl format. As I got older, and CDs became top dog, I didn’t donate my collection to the local Goodwill, or abandon it next to the neighborhood dumpster (I know several people who did), and then run out and replace with CDs. I never understood why anyone would do that, but that’s just me. At the end of the day I couldn’t care less what someone’s preferred physical format is, be it CD, vinyl, R2R, or cassette, doesn’t matter. What’s important, is that people are still buying, and listening to physical music mediums. I hate digital downloads and streaming, and in my opinion, these virtual formats if you will, have reduced the art of music, the art of creating, and recording to nothing more than a cheap commodity that can be discarded in seconds with the click of a button, or swipe of a finger. It has no intrinsic value or meaning any longer. Without investment, there can be no return. On a lighter note…. There’s no way in hell I would spend $100+ on a little plastic jewel case with a shiny little silver disc inside. 😜 😂

[@andrewhaines3259]

I'm 57 and grew up with vinyl. When CDs came out, it was a few years before I could afford a CD player. Tubular Bells and DSOTM were the first CDs I bought! I started to replace vinyl with CD, but then stopped as I realised it was a stupid thing to do. I wasn't bothered that vinyl was in decline at that time. Sad at the thought it may disappear, but as there has been a resurgence, it's a double edged sword, in that my small collection is worth a damn site more, but the cost of vinyl is ridiculous now! I'm with you on the "who cares what media you listen to music on". Just enjoy it!

They don't have to be expensive. I bought my Pro-Ject Debut III second hand for less than a decent CD player.

When a CD player breaks, it's either an expensive repair or it becomes landfill! I have both vinyl and CDs. Some albums have never been released on vinyl, (yet) and I've grown up with the foibles of vinyl, so for me, I switch between the two.

[@davidharris4030]

I don’t understand why CDs have not done well in sales. I might get it if you are very good about making back ups of all your music. That is in case your devices crash and you can’t retrieve. I don’t trust myself on always backing up my music. If I buy a CD not only I get a original cover but the music which I just upload and put it away. Any problems down the road no problem. I have a basically brand new CD to fix the lose without having to purchase again! If the younger generation can explain why they don’t prefer buying the CD please respond. Not joking I am only wondering because maybe I am missing something you may know. Thanks

[@TheGoldenAgeofHardRock]

I'd be interested in reading any responses to your question also, David. I started out as a vinyl collector in the 70's and built up a huge collection. In '83, I joined the Marine Corps and I couldn't take it with me, so I gave them away to family and friends. I started collecting CDs in the 80's and never looked back. I always enjoyed all of the perks of CDs when it came to portability, durability and smaller storage requirements. Now that I've got well over 6000 CDs, I'm not about to jump back on the vinyl bandwagon for finance sake alone. I also pay for streaming, but it's mainly because that's what my kids like, but I do use it.

@@lastchild6153 You're wife saw some great shows. I didn't go to the show that you went to that was cut short but growing up in Bradenton, I definitely remember the news the next day about the riot, it was on TV news and front page of the newspaper.

People are crazy

[@sassykaren7587]

I wish that I still had a lot of the records that I used to own. I’m sure that they would bring me some money on eBay.

[@TheGoldenAgeofHardRock]

Me too, I had a huge collection that I started in the 70's that I gave away to family and friends when I joined the Marine Corps in '83, some of those would be worth a pretty penny today.

[@LondonFogg]

@@TheGoldenAgeofHardRock Yes, this is the same sad story that many of us have concerning our 60's baseball cards too.

[@SmartDave60]

Do first pressings matter for CDs sound quality wise?

[@TheGoldenAgeofHardRock]

That is a question for the audiophiles, I can't say that I've noticed any difference. Remixes and remasters I guess would be a personal thing, I like the originals myself for the most part.

[@Mauricio-d6t]

I new that would happen I paid 70 dollars for a few cds already.

[@josephlalock8378]

why would the original lineup of priest sign a cd that they did not play on? there's not a single current member of that band that was even in the original lineup.

[@TheGoldenAgeofHardRock]

That's one of my pet peeves also, why would anyone want someone's signature on something that they had nothing to do with creating. I don't get it, but then again, a lot of people have no clue and pay big bucks to see bands with one or even none of the original members on the stage, go figure.

[@josephlalock8378]

@@TheGoldenAgeofHardRock besides the fact that Ernie Chataway, the original guitarist for priest, died before firepower was even released. i don't get it either. i refused to see megadeth after nick n marty. would not see slayer after dave and jeff. no metallica after jason. no aic after layne. i did see priest right after k.k. left but k.k. was getting sloppy anyways and richie shreds every bit as good, maybe better.

These are all limited run collectors versions of course. The standard versions of most of these are still plentiful and cheap.

[@ganjazz]

And here I thought I paid too much ($60+) for a Japanese CD of DSOTM (non-to).

[@Delmar-q2v]

Play all this KEXP

[@andrewclayterman6230]

How did that led zep get sold.. they usually ban bootlegs..

[@andrewhaines3259]

Not all! I had a Jane's Addiction vinyl bootleg removed from ebay as it breached their selling code! I've reported loads of bootlegs, but they don't get taken down, so I'm not sure how they stay for sale. It's a bit like youtubers not playing music for fear of copyright strike, but thousands of video uploads of music that doesn't!
