One day flags will be able to be applied properly, once there's enough CDs to properly sort through, and assign. But basically, it seems the growth of markets through political changes is the key to understanding them... but this has happend in such a compressed time frame (relatively), that the situation was not the same from one week to the next: new directives (EU), deals made intercontinentally, and crucially, I think the demise of EMI, leading to the gobbling up of everything under one umbrella of the Sony-sphere, which itself, was precipitated / exacerbated by the arrival MP3s, the financial crash. In truth, there is probably not a human being alive who knows what has taken place over the last thirty or so years, or can make a single coherent logic apply to CDs. But we may be able to do that here, in reverse, track these political, economic changes by means of the CDs... we just need more data.
