A CD
VIDEO CLIP:
RealMedia: Wow, what are these shiny round things?


CD Players

CDs were dead cool 'cos you could jump from track to track and you didn't need to turn them over like a record.

You could turn the music up full volume and it wouldn't distort - and the discs looked really space age and shiny.

It was just a shame CDs cost a fortune and your dad wouldn't let you use his hi-fi to play them anyway.

Still, those scratches and crackles on records added character, didn't they? The vinyl snob was born.
