In the mid-west US, AM is mostly relegated to news and talk radio. There
are no music stations on AM anymore.

The CD didn't appear here until around 1983/4 but didn't become prevalent
until the late 80's. In the early 90's, record albumns disappeared
altogether.
I recall the shock one day going into a record store and not finding
anything
other than CD's and cassette tapes. This must have been around 1991/2.
The same situation is happening with Cassettes. They are now a rarity and
blank cassettes are difficult to find. It is very difficult too to find a
cassette
deck for your stereo and I still have a couple boxes of them that I can't
play
because I use CD's in both home and car.
