Music Industry Red Herring

A while back I read an interesting article in an Audio Magazine. Representatives of the music industry were complaining that department stores were eliminating their Record/Tape Departments. The music industry attributed the loss of business to HOME TAPING. When do you think the article was written. Sometime between 1979 and 1981. No internet, no computers, no consumer digital audio playback equipment. Everyone involved in the music business should kiss a compact disc every morning. When the Compact Disc was introduced it revitalized the music business. It seems music lovers wanted to replace their Vinyl Collections with Compact Discs. It seems that the music industry always needs a scapegoat for a downturn in business.

If you think that music lovers were just thrilled to stop paying $8.98 for their vinyl albums and start paying $15-plus instead for a Compact Disc just because they were "cool," I'm not convinced you were around during the transition (though you may well be one of those "bottomless wallet"-types the music industry loves like a cellmate).

That's okay, though, because the True Story behind how all the music lovers suddenly and spontaneously decided, overnight, that their turntables were somehow "defective" has never been told in the music industry press.

But now you can read all about it.......for free:

Isn't the InterWeb wonderful?

(Incidentally, any chance of telling us where you saw that article on home taping? If you could tell us the name of the magazine/issue date, I'd gladly look for a dead tree copy.)
