103.0. "First Pop Digtal Recording" by JAKE::ROBERTSON () Tue Apr 02 1985 17:21

Looking over some old notes I found one where someone asked about the
first all digital pop recording.  As far as master taping and recording
goes the first Pop recording was Ry Cooder's "Bop Till You Drop".  Ry has 
always been a personal favorite with his blues style performances.  When
he played at a concert with Eric Clapton , Eric had to let him back out 
on stage because of his guitar playing ability which the crowd keenly picked
up on.  The master was recorded on 3Ms soundstream system.  Recommended, but
his style probably won't be for everyone.

	Has this made the transition to CD yet?

What is the date on the Ry Cooder recording?

Also, does anyone know when Billy Joel's (all digital) Nylon Curtain
album was recorded?  It's one of the very few mainstream pop DDD discs.
(What a great idea for a new topic!  Stay tuned.)

	Bop Till You Drop was released in 1979 on Warner Bros.

	To answer my earlier question about its availability on CD, I noticed
a copy at a local audio store last evening.

	I agree with the original author about this not being for everyone
however if you like guitar licks, Ry does it about as well as anyone.
