    When and which is the first album released in the compact disc format?

    Question #57143. Asked by uclageographer. (May 11 05 3:37 AM)

    		I thought I read somewhere that it was Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA", from 1984.

    Says "First CD pressed in the United States for commercial release", so perhaps there was something else before that?

    		The timing would be about right. "The Compact Disc reached the market in 1983, and this event is often seen as the 'Big Bang' of the digital audio revolution"

    		Herbert von Karajan made a recording with the Berlin Philharmonic which was released in 1982 on CD. I forget what pieces were on the recording.
