|  |     I have the analog disk of this. The jacket says it was done on Denon's
    PCM recording system.

|  |     And PCM is?  Pulse coded modulation?

|  |     Yep.  I seem to remember JVC came out with PCM in the mid seventies.
    Dont know where or when it was first developed for consumer audio.

| 426.5 | Special BEAT Service | PNEUMA::WILSON |  | Mon Aug 25 1986 13:22 | 8 | 
|  |     I have one CD digitally recorded in 1982: "Special BEAT Service"
    by the English Beat. Too bad it's DAA...there's a surprising amount
    of tape hiss.
    
    That's the earliest I know of digital recording on a commercial
    disk.
    
    I'm just guessing.

| 426.6 | My first digital album -- alas, boring music | UNCLE::GEORGE |  | Tue Aug 26 1986 16:00 | 8 | 
|  |     Fleetwood Mac's 'Tusk', from 1979 or so, was digitally recorded and
    mastered.  They made a big deal of it in the liner notes.
    
    I haven't pulled out my copy in years, but I remember it sounded
    better than most albums on my college system.  Instrument textures,
    particularly the guitar and drums, were very clean.

        Someone said in a previous note that Dark Side Of The Moon was
     recorded digitally in 197x,where x=3 or 4

|  |     I don't believe that "Dark Side of the Moon" was digitally recorded.
    I think it was just produced with excellent analog equipment.  Unless
    someone can offer positive proof otherwise...

|  |     Dark Side was an analog recording, but it was done at Abbey Road
    studios, which George Martin owns, which has the best in equipment.
    Listen to the Abbey Road CD... oooppss, I'm sorry, some (most) or
    you don't have that one, do you ? :-)

    Hey, I liked TUSK! I appreciated the fact that they tried doing
    highly non-commercial music rather than just coming out with
    a clone of RUMOURS. I just wish TUSK would come out on CD.

|  |     I remember a fuss about Ry Cooder's Bop Till You Drop being one of the
    first digital recordings. I don't remember the exact year but I'm pretty
    sure it was the mid 70's

| 426.12 | I like it... | SKYLAB::FISHER | Burns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO1-1/D42 | Thu Aug 28 1986 15:21 | 12 | 
|  |     re .4:  I like it a lot!  I has a greater dynamic range than most
    vinyl recordings I have heard.  The sound quality is excellent,
    in my opinion.  One thing that purists might object to (or might
    love depending on what kind of purist you are):  It was
    apparently recorded live...there is about a minute of applause on
    the end (weird...I guess the performance was a bit fast and they
    wanted to use up the extra bits on the cd!?).  I did not notice
    any other coughs, russles, etc, but (1) others might or (2) that
    might mean that it was processed out.

| 426.13 | Full Digital (DDD) | PNEUMA::WILSON |  | Fri Aug 29 1986 07:51 | 3 | 
|  |     Now for the next question...
    
    I wonder what the first FULL DIGITAL RECORDING (DDD) was?

    The first digital recording was D if you think about it.
    
    However, you could be referring to the first DDD CD which
    probably was a precursor to the Phillips' (sp?) test disc.
    
    Actually, you are most likely referring to the first DDD CD
    with music, for which I have no answer.

|  |     Re: .11   I remember hearing that about Bop Till You Drop too. 
    It's out on CD now, I saw it in Strawberries in Shrewsbury, MA
    last night.  In the notes on the back it did say something to the
    effect that Bop Till You Drop was the first digital rock recording
    by a major label.
