What I Saw At Walmart

[WOStantonCS100]

Nope, sorry, no pics of over-sized butts stuffed in sweat pants.

What I did see in the big CD $5/ea bin:

The Doors - Morrison Hotel
The Doors - Waiting For The Sun
Jimi Hendrix - South Saturn Delta
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Live
Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies
Rush - Moving Pictures (Remasters series)
Deep Purple - Machine Head

etc. etc. etc.

If I wasn't so into vinyl I'd be snapping up CDs like mad; because, it seems like everybody is trying to get rid of them. The profit margin for CDs must be in the toilet (pure speculation on my part). I have nothing to back that up.

I think it will happen but not just yet - made a few buys recently and I'm shocked at how much prices seem to be holding up. I think you just stumbled on a one in a thousand bargain bin - it is Wal Mart after all. In England it's called ASDA. Not as many lard arses in sweat pants though...

Wait a minute. If I don't start working out soon, I may just get to the point where I'm one of them.

In Scotland it's called Asda too, and there are some big assed people in there, deep fried everything is the cause, no cheap cds though.

Don't ever go into ASDA in Poole or Bournemouth then Martin

To get back to the question - will CD get squeezed out between the hip cats with their vinyl and the digital downloaders?

will CD get squeezed out between the hip cats with their vinyl and the digital downloaders?

I would be pretty typical of that squeeze. I buy about 1 CD a year. I buy Vinyl, SACD, Hi-Res Downloads. The squeeze is not only from better formats but also from lower quality MP3. Even 'CD Quality' downloads add to the squeeze. CD as a format is doomed by Quality rivals and Convenience rival formats.
