The CD Turns 30 Today

The CD turns 30 today. The first compact disc player and commercially available CD were launched on October 1st, 1982. On October 1 1982, Joel's sixth studio album, 52nd Street, was the first commercially released CD album…which means CDs are 30-years-old today. It's worth noting here that 52nd Street wasn't a new album – it was launched initially in 1978, but it was selected for relaunch on the new digital audio disc, rolling out alongside the first CD player – the Sony CDP-101 – in Japan.
