The arrival of the UK CD single, almost overnight, created
a whole new area of instant collector’s items. Whilst
CD players are now as affordable as a pair of jeans, back
in the mid- to late-80’s they were expensive ‘new
technology’. Initially the CD single contained the same
tracks or versions as the dominant 12" single format
of the day, but it wasn’t long before the marketing
men began to include exclusive content. Today there are still
thousands of CD singles, particularly from the 1980’s
and early 1990’s which have versions or remixes that
have never been reissued on a digital format - yes, there’s
still a lifetime of music that you can’t get as a legal
download, and lots of it is available on CD singles! For those
who remember the tactile pleasures associated with buying
and listening to music, the CD single was both an evolutionary
and revolutionary step in the life of the single format. Aside
from the music, the packaging developed from clear jewel cases,
to card wallets - sometimes gatefold, then digipaks and eco-paks,
to all manner of exotic injection-moulded plastic novelties.
Sometimes it seemed that the only limit was your imagination!
In fact you could argue that they were the last true music
format that could be called ‘collectable’.
Now approaching their 20th year all but the very latest
releases are deleted and long out-of-print. However, their
success as a format means that there’s still a huge
amount of recorded music available for your enjoyment. Their
convenient size makes for efficient storage and the digital
format ensures that a Mint condition CD single will sound
as good today as it did when first manufactured. |
