Description
The compact disc: an object lesson in the fleeting nature of technology. In this beautifully designed book, Robert Barry explores the story behind the CD's rise and fall as a popular music format. From its origins in analogue media to its eventual demise, the CD's history is also a tale of how our relationship with music changed with the advent of digital formats.
