WORLDWIDE, FIRST DEMO CD"
BeeGees, Living Eyes, 1981
Quote:Living Eyes was chosen to be the first ever album to be manufactured on CD for demonstration purposes, as seen on the BBC TV program Tomorrow's World in 1981, and was featured on the inaugural issue of the Compact Disc trade magazine. It was the first Bee Gees album to be released on CD, in early 1983 when compact discs were first commercially available, though few were manufactured.
I worked at CBS/Sony in the Carrollton, GA plant. It was a awesome place to work. We did not manufacture the CDs. We made the 12in vinyl and cassettes. The plant opened in 1980 and closed in 2002. Manufacturing was moved to Mexico. We had a lot of people transfer from Terre Haute - Indiana, Santa Maria - California, and Connecticut. Michael Jackson's Thriller album kept us running 24/7 for months. Funny to see vinyl records coming back. they sound so much better.
