Nobody buys CDs anymore. Can one make money owning the work of a famous group today?
Catalog sales in the millions have gone off without a hitch. Alice In Chins cashed out for a $50MM lump sum. They’re my favorite 90s band though they didn’t sell as well as others, so there is money to be had.
It’s all about streaming today. And while Boomers et al have Zeppelin on album, tape, CD, mp3, and probably 8-track and reel-to-reel, they’re prolly listening to Whole Lotta Love (for the zillionth time) on Spotify.
Alice In CHAINS, not Chins (doh!)
I go as often as possible. Bargain, mostly used, CDs are now $.95 or less. Find some really neat stuff in the store every single time. They'll all be converted to MP3 files which can be plugged into any car dash with a USB port or used on various players. Met someone instantly putting them on Amazon trying to make a few extra bucks to pay for his wife's cancer surgery. CDs aren't gone - yet.
