"It was the great Farnsey's Whispering Jack in 1986."
Compact discs have been available in Australia since 1982. Like most compact discs at the time, they were imported from Japan, Germany and the U.S. The first album to be commercially released on compact disc was Billy Joel's "52nd Street".
John Farnham's "Whipering Jack" album was the first Australian album to be released within Australia. 1986 was when Australia started mass producing Compact Discs locally.
