What was the first ever album released on CD?
Try and guess this first without using Google.
What was the first album released on Compact Disc? I don't mean JUST on CD, it was more than likely on vinyl and CD. I have no idea but I will probably try and look it up later.

I cheated
The compact disc was launched in 1982. The first recording released on CD was Billy Joel's 52nd Street.

The length of the CD was made to accommodate a particular recording, I think it was Beethovens 9th.

I think Ry Cooder was one of the first to experiment with them, but I'm not sure he would have been the first to release on one.

The first I heard was a Phillips produced classical music CD. In the "High-End" room in the local hi-fi store.

I remember people waiting in line to pay exorbitant sums of money for the first CD players. The mo-mo's who now wait in line to buy X-box & I-Phones must be their offspring.

We could open this up too.
Not only try to guess the first CD album released, but what was the first CD you bought? I'm desperately trying to remember what mine would have been...

Wiki knows all:
"The first CD that was pressed in Hanover was a recording of Herbert von Karajan conducting the Alpine Symphony by Richard Strauss" see Wiki The 1st good one is a whole 'nother story. Ian

Herbert Von Karajan is one of the best conductors there is! I have the complete Deutsche Grammophon collection of Beethoven's symphonies conducted by HVK on vinyl. There's nothing wrong with Richard Strauss either. I bet everyone has heard "Also sprach Zarathustra" whether they know it or not.

The 'art' of recording digitally was a learning experience. Many/most early digital recordings helped us sell a lot of turntables back in the day. And of course, the argument still rages . . . Ian

The first CD I bought was "the Planets"- Gustov Holst.
i bought it before I even had a player back in the late '80's. I still have it and listen to it today. KT

The 1st CDs I remember buying for demo use were Level 42 & Ry's Bob til You Drop. Dire Strait's Money was in use everywhere in 1985.
