I lost my phone the other week and I have no ones numbers. Now I'm stranded with a thirst and can't call anyone. Getting a bus to a pub which I think people I know might be in.

That's how I generally go out. I don't know anyone's number and just go places people might be. That way I can leave when I want, no obligations. Also, adds possibility of meeting someone new when on your own.

Don't Androids and iPhones save your contacts in the cloud now?

Not having a phone will be the new retro hipster trend. Does Harbo have one I wonder?

The demise or the revival?

One way to gauge the shrinking market is to watch how fast CD reissues go out of print now; particularly multi-disc sets.

The market is flooded with cheap product [80s and 90s releases] which is great.

As time goes by I become more and more convinced that early CD releases [1983 - 1989] were nailed right first time i.e. perfect sound forever

family members getting their online purchases sent to our (UK) address 'because it's cheaper' - it's not cheaper, you're just making us pay the balance of sending it on you fucks, or else taking up our measly carry-on baggage allowance when we fly home with your giant books/pairs of shoes/baby toys

The revival of it. I don't think it's happened yet but I can see it coming.

In regards CD's, do you mean Cd's pressed in that time or CD's mastered in that time? (I would assume mastered is the thing but not sure)

Didn't old CDs have that AAD / ADD / DDD designation?

As to how it was recorded and mastered?

They did but I assume niggels is talking about loudness wars kind of stuff rather than the actual technology involved.

Both really.

Flat transfers. Quiet pressings. Plenty of headroom and dynamic range.

Not all are great [Prince Sign O' The Times is not] but the majority sound just fine.

The loudness wars depress me although things have settled down a little in the last few years.

Anything up to 1992/93 is ok. The brickwalling seemed to start around the time of the first two Oasis albums.

It's nice to only have to pay one penny for a CD copy of a late 80s/early 90s album that I originally bought on vinyl [and played lots]

Harbo hangs out with hipsters working on tech start-ups with creative potential. Id say he'd have to have a smart phone.
