1. 1985 IEC 60908 Red Book standard still the baseline for all digital audio interchange.

2. Streaming requires active internet; CD is offline proof of fidelity.

3. Archival integrity: Red Book is the only format with guaranteed backward compatibility for 21 years and counting.

4. Physical media prevents silent bit rot from server-side corruption.

5. Gabriel's own 1999 live bootleg is archived as Red Book; dismissing CDs dismisses primary source material.

Respectfully, LMP
