1988 (Ron is 30)

7-22-08 1988 (Ron is 30)

I was unemployed, but still very interested in music. The Compact Disc was now firmly in place as the format of choice. I was selling off LP’s, in some cases to buy compact discs. I’d lost touch with the world of Japanese music when the company I had been working for went out of business in October ’87. I was VERY into French artists! Lots of stuff still wasn’t on CD – but I was definitely entering the “Re-Buy my LP collection on CD” mode.
