Who listens primarily to Redbook CD?

Free tip to anyone with a lot of CDs. Always store them vertically, not horizontally. The sound will be much better. Please don't ask why.

I listen mostly to CDs. Another great aspect of the cd is the massive amount of music that was out of print or extremely rare on vinyl (or 78) that was made available inexpensively, in great sound, on cds.

One of my listening interests is American roots music (Blues, Jazz and Country). I have been able to collect music by W. C. Handy (the father of the blues), Mamie Smith, who recorded the first blues vocal 78 (Crazy Blues) in 1920, and nearly every note recorded by Hank Williams. I have many compilations of great music that would have never been available if it wasn’t for the cd boom.

And it’s not just obscure music that cd made available. You want Elvis’s complete recordings? No problem. The Stones or Beatles in mono or stereo? The British or American versions? They’re available cheap. Alternate takes or demos? Tons of them. Led Zeppelin or the Yardbirds at the BBC? You got it.

There is so much great music available only on cd that music lovers should celebrate the cd for that alone, if for no other reason.

Doubtful anyone would ask why, because your statement is not true.

Huh? A statement of mine not true? That’s seems highly unlikely. It is your statement that's not true.
