Forty years ago today, a magnificent revolution swept across the music industry, making albums more accessible and enhanced audio playback.
The Compact Disc became popular in the late 1980s and evolved into a hallmark of 90s and early-aughts culture. Better than cassette tapes and smaller than vinyls, CDs changed how and where we listened to music. Buying (or receiving) your first CD was no joke. It was a seminal moment for anyone who grew up during that era and one that can’t be replicated.
