this the one?
this the one?
Bop till You Drop is Ry Cooder's eighth album, released in 1979 (see 1979 in music). This was the first major-labeldigitally recorded album of Pop music. It was recorded on a 32-track machine built by 3M.[5][6]
The album consisted almost entirely of covers of earlier R&B and rock'n'roll classics, including Elvis Presley's "Little Sister" and the 1965 Fontella Bass-Bobby McClure hit "Don't Mess Up a Good Thing", on which Cooder duetted with soul star Chaka Khan, who also performed on the only original track on the album, "Down in Hollywood".
DR23 is the maximum for a 'normal' CD. I don't know the possibilities with Blu-ray, Gold CD or SACD. Solid state drives have probably even much greater potential in this area, but I'm no expert so I might be wrong.
''Bob 'til you drop'' is the first digital recording of pop music. Flim & the BB's made the first U.S. non-classical digital release in 1978. They were not the very first to use digital recording, but they were the first band that used digital recording. This first album was only released as an LP record and the experimental digital recorder was disassembled so no CD re-issue can be made. The first Song of the A-side is this one:
thank you Beyakusenn, very informative.
Why did they dissemble the digital recorder?
This ones seems to have the best DR:

They do sound very airy, open and effortless.
I have uploaded one of my favorite hi-res downloads to the Dynamic Range Data base; http://dr.loudness-war.info/
It is the Batik album ''The old Man and the Sea'' .
It had a maximum score of 19. The DRData base suggest that it is the last tune that has the maximum score.
You can hear a bit of it here :http://www.soundliaison.com/
I was looking a bit around on the Database and could not seem to find an album that had a higher score and very few that reached the 19 that ''The Old man and the Sea'' got.
An Old favorite of mine, Doug Macleod's ''There's a Time'' got 19 as well.( http://www.hdtracks.com/)
Is there a piece of music that reaches 20? or is 20 not possible? and since so few albums comes close to the 19 that the Batik album got, is that because they all have been using compression even though they might claim other wise?
Or are they just playing less dynamic?
And which albums with a high score is your favorite?

Witmer Trio En Azul [24/96] i2015 14 12 16lossless Download
Their newest program is titled En Azul and features the Witmer Trio, Cajan Witmer – piano,
Han Slinger – double bass, and Maarten Kruijswijk – drums. The trio has been together for 20 years and all the players sound very comfortable in their skins. Their emphasis is on melody with ornamentation and variation that heightens a sense of melody rather than distracting from it. And they’ve picked some terrific tunes to work with – Carioca, TheGentle Rain, Moon River, Moonglow, Rhapsody in Blue, Recado, and St. Louis Blues, to mention a few. The playing is delightfully impeccable and the recorded sound nearly so. The trio sounds like it’s playing in a real space and is nicely spread between speakers with no exaggeration. The piano sound is perfect as is the sound of the many percussion instruments that are so imaginatively employed. The bass is solid; I could use just a tiny bit more focus on the attacks. Sound Liaison recordings are only available as high quality downloads. Many download formats are available including DSD and PCM 24bit/96kHz stereo. If you’re searching for real sounding intimate jazz, give the work of these folks a try. You’ll not be disappointed and it’s so good-natured, I’ll bet it will put a smile on your face.
I didn't expect to see such high dynamic ranges from a CD. Well, technology has advanced for CDs as well.
The theoretical max for the Redbook format is much higher than any of that; for instance this waveform is DR58.
That seems to make sense. I remember reading somewhere that under ideal conditions, the theoretical maximum for CDs (16 bit) would be DR98. I wonder at what dynamic range the background noise starts becoming intrusive in music.
