That Obscure Object of Desire

When I was young, went to record stores two to three times a month to buy LPs.
At the time of infamous free imports Martinez de Hoz (years '77 to '79), in any neighborhood home records were real black gold jewelry, most imported United States, but there were also British records, if they are looking for, there they were. It was a time when most growth my vinyl collection.
appliances in a house very near the Home station, I found " The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway " of Genesis, in another Moron (I think it was called "The Hollow ") I saw this awesome photo of a bass smashing his instrument on stage, with typography and layout of the disc equal to the debut of Elvis" The Pelvis .
I had never heard of that band, the disc was Argentina twice and was charged as a double (Go and sing to Joe Strummer ). So for that cover photo I bought the " London Calling" by The Clash, if it were a CD, would last long, he had not seen ....
the time and I ventured to go to Palomar "center" to buy discs, almost always ended in "the hole" (East Gallery) and when there was not what I wanted, I went to the other branch gives Maipu Street.
came home by train with that album that smelled of pineapple, to new, imported disc ...


... This morning I wanted to hear a new disc, but of course, is the P2P ...
Should we feel guilty about using it and listen to that record came out a few days or so that's out to have 15 minutes of order? Phew, what a dilemma ...
once said in this environment, those who have put us in their hands the tools were the same people who sell their content and there is the first leg loose why the downloads "illegal " the mass closure of music stores and decomposition of the music business as we knew 20 years ago the labels of .
is that the media introduced by as industry standard has become obsolete, short, is something that is not love.
The cd as an object has been distorted because of the immediacy and the network providing free, yes, yes, but also because buying a cd today, does not mean the same as it was 25 years ago, lost the mystical object simply because the cd collectible, never had.
The LP format was evolved in such a way that had become a work of art, the artwork of "Sgt Pepper's ...", deployed covers of Led Zeppelin albums, fantastic landscapes of Roger Dean, Hipgnosis assemblies ( long before the Photo Shop) ... and so many examples.
was exciting going to buy the latest album ... to see how you were.
The CD killed the artist's album or something.


someone in the past days Facebook , urging us to do graphic designers art in cds as before for LPs and we have a problem in this respect: size.
When working in the art for an LP, it was handmade in part and then the process is industrialized.
Now while most of the creative process is in the hands of the designer, the 12 X 12 cm from the cd do not give much of themselves, unless you apply pressure to the "book" in a plastic box, although rounded, or as a digipack , evolved over there.
In contrast, the generous measure 30 x 30 cm. LP. game was much more when it was a albumette (top down).
If there were budget, the lid was double (or triple), with inner envelope and disk cookie line with the overall design also had to do with the cassette version.
In the early 90's, when the cds were replacing the "LPs", the first thing that crossed my mind was how to make good art is that measure (12 x 12 cm.)? "and yes, they can but the size reduction conspires against it.
Because the CD is no longer an object of desire .


And the mp3 is a good format as shown "tasting dish, but not the food itself.


misses is that object that we would buy the record store with the heart a thousand, who do you miss it now?
A recent example:
Deluxe edition of 13 discs with a spectacular musical content: He deserved another treatment that EMI did with the collection of The Beatles remastered, including outtakes or unknown material, that they keep in their "trunks" ( and finally end up seeping into the network, such as 11-minute version of "Revolution I") .
is good that have improved the sound (what we had for 20 years) and very careful editing, graphical quality of packaging is appreciated, but not enough, we have been smitten by over 250 €, the same music without offering anything extra (Oops, thanks for the mini-documentaries !!!!).


I've been reading for the network that the digital sound "professional" no longer fits on a cd.: The 44100 kHz which is the standard audio are insufficient to be considered true "High Fidelity" and play a great team, those costing more than $ 15,000.
With vinyl, the inclusion in the pick up a good Shure cartridge or Pickering, we enhanced the sound and did not pay much dough.
But entertainment industry, not loose and now will not change the standard support cd, but lost every day (by downloads, to sell an outdated format in current times and not cling to the true artists, but the clown / a teen fashion).


So for them the cd is still great and current (as it is more than amortized) and it is foolish attempt to change standard, even if it means significantly improve sound quality, which is what before interested, but the industry insists on cds to sell generation iPod neither care about sound quality or the cover artist's design, but download the latest Hannah Montana in 15 minutes and also without having to pay.
Does he think the industry, which is easier and cheaper to try to cut the root P2P rather than to improve the standard?
For by the news coming from one side of the world think so.
Million Dollar dollar fines for downloading 24 songs (A sentence to a particular got that amount songs with Kazaa and similar news after appearing almost daily) .
Here in Spain, where we pay royalties on all electronic products, to offset the losses from the free exchange of files © , (so we sold him) will soon pursue the piracy, reaching cut the Internet connection and to be capable of closing blogs that contain, for example, a video from favorite band, if the label considered copyright violation and will not just close the blog but tougher penalties looming.
Law is falling, everything comes so fast as downloading an album.
To Be Continued ...
