it's incredible how many CDs have gone out of print in the last 5-10 years, even albums on major labels by really popular artists. Sometimes they only get reissued in those cheap, flimsy, generic 5-disc box sets like pic related, which I hate with a passion.
I guess music companies would rather earn fraction of a cent from each streaming than 10 bucks from every person still willing to buy physical albums.
I miss when you could buy brand new older CDs for peanuts, back then when the format was declining but streaming wasn't so prevalent yet.

There are 1000 different autistic little things vinyl owners have to constantly look out for and keep in mind while taking care of their records in order to keep them intact. Additionally you have to splurge on every single part of your setup from the needle to the preamp to the speakers in order to get the best audio quality. Disk rot is an overblown myth, and since all a CD player has to do is read the bits and convert it to a signal, you can use whatever player you want and the only thing you need to worry about is your headphones. And you can do whatever you want with your CD's as long as you dont scratch the top side.

I don't know what the fuck you boomers are expecting, here. Surely anyone who wants to own a physical copy of MCIS has had ample opportunity to buy it in the past three fucking decades. If you really cared and were a real fan then you wouldn't care anyway because you'd have one of the multiple massive box set re-releases that have come out over the years.

>albums on major labels by really popular artists
It's been a very long time since Stone Temple Pilots were a "really popular artist", if they ever were. Popular culture evolves over time and I'm sorry but there aren't lines of teenagers desperate to buy physical copies of music released 30 years ago.

To put this in a frame of reference you might understand, let's think back to when you were growing up in the '80s and '90s. Pretend it's 1994. What you're doing now is the equivalent of your parents complaining that vinyls from The Yardbirds have gone out of print and young people don't seem to care.

i cant think of any examples of that. the stone temple pilots cds have never gone out of print. and in fact, their first 3 have recently been reissued in deluxe and single disc forms. rock albums from the last 35yrs are always in print and even in a rare case they are not you can easily find a used copy for peanuts. now rap albums thats an entirely different story

Some CDs I remember I was interested in buying that are still hard to find unless you buy them second hand are The Raven and La Folie by The Stranglers.
Of course the REALLY huge albums will always be available on CD on standalone editions, no shit.

sadly these cheaply made multi disc sets seem to be mostly how the labels are reissuing albums on cd for the last decade now. the ones by american labels for american musicians dont even include any bonus tracks whereas the overseas sets by europeans musicians do.
>>130437698
its a case-by-case basis. these box sets are really great and contain everything by these artists.
>>
>>130438947
Those Beggars Banquet box sets are exactly some of the few I own (Fields of the Nephilim, The Bolshoi, Love and Rockets, Buffalo Tom...) and have a better quality than the ones released by huge labels like Warner or Sony (clamshells made of thick cardboard instead of flimsy slipcases).
Cherry Red also has similar CD box sets that are even better, at least from an aesthetic standpoint. The have personalized covers and graphics, so the whole thing doesn't look so generic.

yep. i have almost all of them. fields of the nephilim, the bolshoi, icicle works and love & rockets are definitive when it comes to those artists.
>Cherry Red also has similar CD box sets that are even better, at least from an aesthetic standpoint. The have personalized covers and graphics, so the whole thing doesn't look so generic.
cherry red going crazy with some of the box sets they are releasing. just so much music. the dream academy, nik kershaw & level 42 sets are great. the USA box sets really cant compare thats why i dont have any of them

it's mostly about soulless major labels Vs. indie labels that still care, not a geographical thing.
Cherry Red and Beggars Banquet are pretty big labels but still independent.
>>
>>130440998
it is a geographical thing though. the USA labels are trying to kill off cds. there is no cd pressing plant in the USA anymore hasnt been for years. the major labels arent reissuing anything anymore and deny all third-party requests. they destroyed cds by making them unlistenable and by making the packaging as shitty as possible. contrast that with japan that has a robust cd industry. its like night and day
>>

Despite what you say, there are many US indie labels still releasing CDs, right?
Anyway, even back in the '90s many CDs from US labels were actually pressed in Canada.
