CDs are now actually also joining vinyls in being revived for physical merch purposes. They're no longer needed, but if you want them they are available for purchase.
Back in the eighties when CDs were introduced, they were NOK 165 a piece for a new release.
Last time I dropped by my friendly neighbourhood dealer (of music, that is), the CD rack said CDs were NOK 189.
165 1985-kroner equals nigh on 500 2025-kroner.
Incidentally, an LP back then was NOK 89, equivalent to NOK 270 today - whereas an LP today would set me back approx. NOK 399.
Good thing my employer pays me significantly better than my parents did in the eighties. I can still sustain my music habit.
Bought a total of 3 CDs in two years. Movies are more difficult, as I can't stand watching most the second time. Got some Ghibli classics.
