Released 37 Years Ago Today

Madonna: Like a Prayer (1989)

43 Years Ago The Way We Listened To Music Changed Forever

I honestly don’t, but it was probably something on the Private Music label. I only say that because they were being sold at the same audio salon where I bought the player.

The video’s from 1982, but CDs were first released in the US on this day in 1983.
