    A full page advert in a national newspaper promoting DCC.
    I hope DCC buyers liked Wet, Wet, Wet. Actually after spending over a quarter of 1994 at number one, many people were fed up with them.

    I didn't think that in Germany they had used two Italian singers as sponsors for the DCC

    Our good friend AB388 over on Twitter keeps posting these great nuggets, from 1990. Can't read it but the equipment looks amazing. The AIWA HD-S1 shows up for sale once in a while but you have to look hard.

    Hitachi DAT-88EX from 1991, this looks like it was pretty impressive.
