My guess is 1999
Around 1981/82 is when the first cd's came out i think


I was going to guess that too. But I think that Warners jumped into the CD world in about '85, with ATWIAD. It had a gatefold cardboard 12"x12"(open) folder with a pocket for the disc.

Although the first commercial CD (Billy Joel's 52 Street) came out in 82, Prince didn't jump on the band wagon until Around The World in a Day.

Even then, it was initially in tiny quantities, and only in the US. The Same goes for Parade.

The first worldwide Prince CD was the promo single of "If I Was your girlfriend". Even though it was a promo, it was actually printed in more copies that anything previous.

It was released to radio stations the week before the album came out.

They only use the FAT case if it's 3 cd's or more.
