What was the first commercial popular musical CD pressed and manufactured in the United States?
Correct answer: Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA"

Vinyl records are far from extinct!

There has been no extinction of vinyl or cassettes, I happen to still have both and just last week was browsing in a used record store. I know it shows my age, but I prefer vinyl.

I'm old school, but I prefer vinyl. And, more and more titles are becoming available in vinyl. I am 63, and still have every vinyl album that I ever bought- probably more than two hundred.
God-is-AMAZING!
I love Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms

I'd like to point out that "digital sound" does not have "superior quality" at all. Sound is one continuous wave. A digital recording is, basicly, recorded in "blocks". I can't see how "blocks" of sound are superior to a soundwave.

yep. science has proven that the binary nature of digital is stressful/tiring to the brain. give me vinyl & real instruments recorded, no synthesized.

Vinyl production of commercial artists in huge, , extinct' is definitely the wrong word to use

VINYL will always be the best in sound quality. The "death" in 1990 wasn't true.
since 2007, vinyl has steadily sold above and beyond the CD, MP3 & any other digital source today.
Sometimes old school is better.😎🎶

they do scratch easily, easier than a vinyl record. that is a complete lie that they do not scratch. vinyl sounds a lot better, those 2 reasons alone are why they're making a huge comeback

It's a crime that The Beatles was released in Mono on anything!

Sales of vinyl records far exceeded CDs in 2022. Vinyl sales topped $1.2 billion VS CDs with $483 million. So, record producers lied, and so did Rolling Stone. I canceled my subscription when I heard my first CD. I knew they'd lied.

Player ninaraewln, I remember 8 tracks, vinyl and cassettes along with CDs, but MP3s in the digital age are way more convenient. Nothing wrong with nostalgia, though. :)
Benji Bear
I own the vinyl and it's great on over-the-ear headphones
Clown Boss
pls take un-muddle the Japan/Germany distinction in records

And the first non-classical album to be recorded, mixed, and mastered digitally (i.e. DDD) was "Tricycle" by a group called Flim and the BBs. Look it up.
