The record stores DID NOT remove cassettes from their shelves. You may not call the removal of LPs from stores a conspiracy but it was an industry mandate to move the 75% of the holdout Americans from LP to CD.I was one of the dumb ones that bought CD when it first came out, so I was part of the 25% that adapted CDs in the first 2-3 years. The other 75% had to be pushed. They never got them all and many of us left CD. But CD was a financial success and that is what matters in the music business.
