Hi GUEST,Ralphie - glad to hear the MDs are still useful. People also predicted the death of vinyl - and it's a flourishing medium even now. When CDs first came out, a good friend of mine sold all his vinyl albums and replaced them with CD versions (!). We had similar tastes, and it's gratifying to know (though I'll never sell them) that my old Topic and Leader/Trailer albums are worth around £45 - and the sound is still superior. The only things I got completely rid of were my cassette tapes - the quality was always poor, and they were constantly getting screwed up in one player or another.
