The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA".

The first music album released (production) on magnetic tape was in 1945 and the artist was singer Marv Griffin.

as an extra,
Marv also had, in "So this is love- 1953, the first open mouth kiss in a Hollywood movie since the advent of the Production Code of 1934

I always just thought of him as a talk show host and TV producer.

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.
