Red Mosquito :: View topic - 30th Anniversary of Ten

I can't believe it's been 30 years. When I was kid, my parents "oldies" music was 30 years old.

It really hit me 10 years ago around the 20th anniversary.

I remember discovering Led Zeppelin in 1991...as much as i loved them and was completely captivated the music was 20 years old and that seemed borderline ancient. So when "Ten" became as old to current listeners as Zeppelin I-IV was to me as a 14 year old i officially felt old AF.

Oh yeah, totally.

Remember that Led Zeppelin box set with the 4 discs and what a big deal that was? LOL.

Looking back, it was bullshit on a stick.

But it did have an unreleased song on it that made it to MTV - so it was big time nostaligia at the time.

Now THAT BOX is 30 years old, which is 10 years older than the music on it was when it originally came out!

Oh yeah! When i first discovered them in 91 it was on cassettes that my friends older sister lent me...when i finally got a CD player i got the 4 disc set and that's actually how i mostly listened to the band for YEARS!

I hope they instead release a 25th anniversary edition of No Code.

Why was that even a thing? Did they fit better into bins made for records?

No wait, we were buying cassettes before that, weren't we?

Weren't they in some kind of long, plastic thing?

It came out right when I got my first CD player so it was no brainer. But it soon sat on the shelf when I went and got the full length albums. It's funny because there is only like 6 discs worth of stuff total so they could have made it 6 disc set and included everything Zeppelin did LOL. It didn't make much sense to present all that stuff jumbled up and out of context when it was 75% of what they did anyway. Total marketing schtick.

On Zeppelin, they came out with Box Set II not long after that did have the remainder of their album songs so you are right in that - I also got immersed in Led Zeppelin originally through those boxes. Ten being 30 somehow phases me less than it being 20. I guess I just got used to the aging of the albums.

If I remember correctly, these cardboard box things came first as additional packaging. Then they introduced the plastic holders, same length, but those instead were designed to prevent theft, kind of like the magnetic tags on clothing. Eventually, no one wanted CDs enough anymore and they were simply in shrink wrapped plastic with the magnet inside the annoying tape that would guarantee your plastic jewel case would be sticky forever.

You could put two longboxes side-by-side in a standard record bin, and maintain the same height for browsing. They also made CDs slightly less stealable than they'd be in just jewel cases, although some became adept at simply slashing the bottom of the longbox open.
