Elvis Presley RCA releases 1984 including the first CD's

A new invention to store and reproduce sound is made by Dutch Philips and the good thing is it is digital so the sound of your CD's supposedly will not wear after many hours of listening pleasure.
The silver Ø 3" / 7,5 cm (single) and 5"/ 12,5 cm (album) discs are known as Compact Disc or CD.

It took RCA-Victor quite some time before they started to re-release Elvis' LP catalogue on CD whereby the first ones have the awful electronic stereo a.k.a. mono reprocessed for stereo sound!
