Interesting read of Stereophile's first review of the new technology called 'Compact Disc'. Esp interesting to read about the incredible potential which was not quite fulfilled, but will be, the costs involved, and Doug Sax's and The Absolute Sound's concerns for poor sound quality.

And of course, RIP, JGH ...

Adding that I was made aware of this by a friend, who said it was re-posted for its historical interest.

Great article, thanks for posting it. I find the new addition of the subscription popup on every single page annoying

So that means you're, what? 44? Just curious, sometimes it gives us a little perspective. Not sure if you meant high school or college or what.

Yeah, me too! Class of 83 for high school. Brings back memories, doesn't it? Brothers In Arms is what I think of in 84!
