Media: Should we start hoarding?

Doubtless you’ve heard of the catastrophic loss of thousands of master recordings
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/magazine/universal-fire-master-recordings.html

What occurs to me as I’m sitting here listening to “Monk: Straight No Chaser” is that a LOT of recordings we are listening to today can never be re-released or remastered. The ONLY way to make new versions/re-releases  is to use copies...

It got me to consider upping my music budget and buying everything I can made either from the original master or recently remastered.

In that dystopian future that we all know is coming, goods and services will be payable in cds. And I plan to live quite well.

Not sure it matters. The trend seems to be when you die it all goes to Goodwill, Salvation Army, eBay or the dump. What you treasure, some ingrate relative will consider trash. Where do you think all your current deals came from?  ;-)
