On August 17th it will be the 25th "birthday" of the compact disc. Yes,
you heard that right. It's been 25 years since the first CD was
manufactured by Philips in a factory in Germany. Philips estimates that
since then more than 200 billion CD's have been sold throughout the world.
Some of you might be asking what super fantastic band had the honor of being
the first on disc, and that title would go to ABBA. I'm trying to think
back through the years of how many CD's I have collected and I can't possibly
come up with a number, but I know it's well over a thousand.
My question to you is, do you remember what was on the first CD you acquired?
