[Kraftwerk] Black-backed Computer World + Karaoke The Model + HK Charts.
Does anyone know about cds with a black (rather than the usual silver) playing side...what's the technology here. I thought they were blank, but they do play very well!. Just found one from Taiwan (?) for Computer World. It comes from the same pressing plant as regular Taiwan cds. The artwork for the sleeve is an exact copy of the original, while the inside booklet is much more colorful. The only other 'black-backed' CD the seller had was one for Iggy Pop's Raw Power (sound quality is excellent for both). SOundtracks in up from 11 to 9 in the 'International Artists Chart' for EMI Hong Kong. Trying to get a true picture of copies sold in HK is probably impossible because of the highly subjective nature (sales) of the record industry here. 'The Model' is being used to advertise a forthcoming Hong Kong tv programme about U.S. models. The original long station promo featured the song playing with 'karaoke' words at the bottom of the screen, now they're using a shorter version with different model clips. Best Wishes, Kasperbauer ... PS - klingklang hasn't replied to the emails about incorrect + missing order in over a month. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

AFX (aka Aphex Twin) has a new EP pressed on a black CD. I think the metal layer underneath the plastic is coated somehow. Remember the gold audiophile CDs? Peace.
Hi, I have one of those Computer World, Black CDs. How do you know it's from Taiwan?... You mentioned that it was from the same pressing plant? When I got mine (from someone in Singapore) he said he got it mail order from China. He thought it was Chinese.
