The history of jazz almost completely coincides with the development of the recording industry. Almost the entire story is recorded on various types of audio carriers from fragile and expensive shellac plates (natural waxing material that preceded vinyl) that can “remember” a maximum of 5 minutes of music, to the discs of the new universal standard DVD-Audio and Internet format MP3. Since the introduction of laser CDs into the everyday life in the mid-80s, two stages have passed on the CDs of jazz classics. At first, random, often pirate circulations came out (sometimes even heard that they were made from hackneyed vinyl records, and not from studio films). Then, recharge -recording magnates took up the reprints and began to extract from the archives that were previously published by compositions or options (the so -called Bonus). Now the third stage has come - audiophile nostalgia for the old plastic records. Productive companies began to produce CDs, the design of which in exactly the same copy of the old long-playing plates at 33 1/3 turnover per minute, only, of course, much smaller. The compact disk is even invested in a completely unrealizable safety plastic bag, which further enhances the feeling that it is a toy or some kind of liliput plate. It all started in Japan, but this year retriment covered both the whole new and even old light.
