For whatever the reason a lot of people believe Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA was the first music CD released.

But they are only half right...Born In The USA was the first manufactured CD in the United States for commercial release.

The first CD for commercial release was actually ABBA's The Visitors at a Philips factory in Langenhagen, Germany.

Hope this helped.

Does a musical recording artist receive any money from the sale of a used CD by that artist from a store?

I would think that since the CD is used, it was at one point new. Therefore, the artist/label would have received money the first time it was purchased. Just a guess though.
