An avocado green National Panasonic radio made for the 1970 Kyoto Worldʼs Fair.
I got another compact music disc. Itʼs Substance by New Order.
This disc sounds very different from my Invisible Touch compact disc. Itʼs very crisp and thumpy. I wonder if itʼs because New Order plays electronic instruments, instead of analog instruments like Genesis, and the player is electronic instead of analog.
The compact disc box came with a leaflet inside:
That seems like a lot of work for something thatʼs supposed to be better than tapes.
My uncle Joe says itʼs not better, though. He works for Panasonic and is working on a Digital Audio Tape, which is like a regular cassette tape, but smaller; and you can fast forward and rewind like a compact disc. He says itʼs also more durable than a compact disc. He says that if you get a compact disc scratched, even a tiny bit, itʼs ruined forever, and you canʼt just record over it like you can with his Digital Audio Tape.
