Big Black compact discs

["James J. Lippard" <Lippard@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA>]

While looking through compact discs at Zia Records, I came across two
by Big Black, which had some amusing comments printed on them.  On
"Songs About Fucking" was the following message:

  This compact disk is made from analog masters recorded without noise
  reduction.  Half the tracks, in fact, were recorded in a dismal,
  cheap basement eight-track studio with puddles of water on the floor.
  Digital technology will now faithfully reproduce those noisy, lo-fi,
  unprofessional masters for you at great expense.  Feel stupid yet?

The liner notes on the back of the jewel box include: "The future is
for analog loyalists.  Fuck digital."

The other CD, "The Rich Man's Eight-Track Tape", says on the label:
"When, in five years, this remarkable achievement is unplayable on any
'modern equipment', remember: in 1971, eight-track tape was
state-of-the-art."
