Ahhh, yes! Direct-to-Disc, better vinyl, half speed mastering, improved electronics...all coming together for the briefest of times before the CD spoiled the party for a good while.
One could not go buy these at the local records store. Typically, we had them mailed in...and not from Columbia House precisely, LOL. Pricey and very scarce, us 3 friends found different ones from Sheffield and others, and alternated to listen together at each other's home. Hardly any loaners; by their nature, the direct-to-discs were limited editions. "You wanna listen to this one? Let's get the beer, wine and some spicy chicken wings for the after-listen party."
Anyway, that was at the peak of the (1st) LP Era. Of course, you and I were babies at the time :)
