Compact Disc turns 25!
CD turns 25! It all began with Abba's The Visitors, which was released in CD format in 1982. That marked the beginning of the end of vynil era and transformed the landscape of musical formats.
"At that time, even experienced engineers told us 'this will never work'. And we learned one should never say never. We knew that we were working on a completely new, exciting technology. However, we did not know at that time that the CD would grow to that magnitude," says Hartmut Loewer of Bayer AG.
Offering unprecedented sound quality and optimum data capacity, CD has not only changed forever the way people listen to music but also marked the beginning of the digital age. Every year, the world produces roughly 90,000 originals on CD, billions of copies of which are sold globally. And today CDs have carved a very important space for themselves in our lives.
