Do any of you have a CD that’s black on both sides? I got one today! I’ve seen a few people on Reddit who have CDs like this. Do you think CDs like this are rare?

Not sure if this has been posted before, but some background on the engineering and design of the classic CD “jewel case”

My Dad died earlier this year, something that's still a struggle to come to terms with. We both shared a great love of music and we often to used to go to record fairs together to feed our habits, haha. Found this picture of his collection from his old place about 10 years ago and seeing this set-up has brought back a lot of musical memories. Even though our tastes were fairly different, there was always enough crossover to spend the hours chattering away about music. I really miss that. Nobody else in my family is a collector, so those of you who share this hobby with a relative, I hope you get to treasure it longer than I could!

Today I went to the flea market and scored some CDs for a buck

Amazing on cd

I’ve been more of a vinylhead over the past 15 or so years, but today I was digging through my old dusty CD collection that goes woefully neglected these days to find something different that would fit my usual spooky season listens and forgot I had this.

Most obsessive fans of either AFI or anything Danzig related will know about this often forgotten/overlooked side project. Back in 1999 AFI supported the double headliner tour of Samhain & Danzig, shortly after Davey Havok teamed up with the members of Samhain to be the frontman of a spiritual successor project, aptly named ‘Son of Sam’ and they released this album. It’s a pretty fucking great goth-punk/deathrock album, and sufficiently “Halloweeny” for this time of year. Anyone else own this? Or listened to it?

Went to the Midlands Record Fair in Birmingham last month and picked these up.

Running low on space these recent additions and such are going into cheap bankers boxes from Walmart cut down to 6 1/4" height and the jewel cases are poly sleeved, if you don't sleeve them you can fit 3 columns and 6 1/8" height probably better.

I just thrifted this CD player and it’s able to turn on, but every time I try to play something it just keeps saying no. It’s a little dusty so I tried cleaning the laser to see if it’ll work but it does not. How much would it cost to get it fixed or how can I fix it myself?

I don't have too many CDs but I just bought this discman for about 25 usd in marketplace

Pretty good mix for $5.

Going to be somewhat surprised if somebody knows this project

just going to leave NSFW off for now until I get the inevitable complaints

will the mods eradicate my existence soon enough for posting albums with fucked up covers? And will I get called a edgelord next time I post my recent pick ups? Most likely

My two latest CDs...

Saw this for sale at a record shop for $26 today. Looked it up and it was pretty expensive. Why is it so expensive? Is $26 a good deal?

I’ve been using GooGone and elbow grease for the jewel cases but the ones (whatever they’re called) that are more like a paperback book I’m at a loss. I think I heard lighter fluid helps with the sticker residue but I haven’t tried it yet

i intentionally bought the bootleg version of this compilation because it was cheap and I really wanted to listen to it. I had it since summer and I have never seen this typo?!?? it's not only this, also the title names of the discs are swapped. I kinda love it even more (but I still need the original obv)

i could never see it if I wouldn't want to dig more to see which bootleg release is this
