Compact Discs: The next big thing (1984 TV news story)

There was a Johnny winter album “Second Winter” in 1969 that had music on only three sides.Second Winter - Wikipedia

Yeah, but that was on two discs.
The Monty Python album had three sides on one disc!

And they were all labelled Side B.

I like how they show the CD player in the Toyota 4x4 bajaing around the desert to show how durable the players were. From what I remember, those old in-dash CD players skipped if you just looked at them funny never mind going over a bump.

No kidding.
Should I get us all reservations at the same nursing home?

That report had to be from late '85–how else to explain the mulletted Kate Bush fan having a copy of Hounds of Love?

That’s nothing. I had the record from MAD Magazine where, each time you played it, the song had one of six or eight different endings.
“It’s a great big beautiful, wonderful incredible, super-spectacular day…”

I remember that - early eighties.

C. 1975, we had a novelty horse racing album with a similar gimmick.

I felt old years ago when a youngish kid asked what a 45 was – and I was in my mid-late 20’s at the time!!

I had that album! Well, I still do, I guess–it’s likely with my LPs, all packed away.

Yes, I still have it.

I’m old enough to remember when “plain old stereo” was the newest thing. Most LPs were released in both Mono and Stereo back then, and it was a big deal, years later, when the last Mono LP was released.

A friend of mine had a stereo recording of a ping-pong match. It was awesome.
