The last DADC facility in North America to end CD production

ok ok all the crap about best buy/target dropping cds.......that news hasnt fazed me, i wasnt buying brickwalled Greatest Hits cds anyways............but are you serious dog, this story its nutz- I wonder what the last CD will be?

I can't believe its over, remember when they just opened and they were on the news for having the grand opening, I mean, I understand it, but I dont "believe" it.

The last CD will be "Died In The USA."

I went to high school right down the road from the Columbia Records plant. My brother worked there for a time. He would often get me admission tickets for their infamous warehouse sales. Imagine 8 or 9 quonset huts in a row, front and back doors open for ventilation, rows and aisles inside loaded with regular-stock LP's, 7.99 list, 3 bucks a pop. Most of the big labels. Ya know those pictures in the insets of TV Guide of the Columbia Record Club? Usually a delirious young girl holding a load of rekkids, half spilling out of her arms? That was the semi-annual Warehouse Sale.

I was on my first out-of-town radio gig in Evansville when they started paring-back on Record plant staff, and my first morning gig in Louisville when DADC opened. I imagined half the old pressing plant gone, replaced by Space-Age buildings and a local economy with stars in the workers' eyes, being part of The Futurrre!

But no; every time I visited my old home town, it just looked a little bit more bleak. But, my condolences to those who chose to stay there, and not move out into the world. And now will have nothing better to do but sit on the couch, rolling a fat one, and wonder how far out of town they're gonna have to re-locate to find work they're qualified to do.

The invention of Brickwall limiters killed CDs. End of story. :realmad:

Hey, there ya go...maybe all those terminated Terre Hautians can become...bricklayers! :idea: (Am I the only one here that even uses his smiley...?)

But...
I thought all jobs would stay here in Amèrica!!!

They need not worry, Roger Waters has a job waiting for them...........

Wrong copy, you should've used a US Columbia 45 to make the point . . . Terre Haute had pressed their share of 45's of this, after all . . .
