The History of Music Recording
The first sound recording was made in 1877 by Thomas Edison. They were made using wax cylinders, in 1887 he released the Edison Phonograph.
Gramophone recordings- were invented and released in 1889 slightly after Edison created his phonograph. They used flat discs instead of wax cylinders. The first 'records' were played at different speeds which varied between 60 and 120 RPM.
Then in 1925 78 RPM became the standard RPM
Then in 1930 the first 33 1/2 RPM records were released and this became the standard RPM for singles.

CDD: Initial Research-Codes and Conventions Of CD Covers
The task we got set was were given 4 random CD cases with the covers on and we had to analyse them, to see if there were any recurring conventions that occurred with each CD cover. we had to analyse the Front, Back and Inside the CD case to see what they all had in common and how the theme of the album flowed throughout the case cover. See notes below.
I did this task with Ashley Paddock and we found out that there are certain convention that link with each CD cover such as: the front cover consisted of having the artist's name, the album name and a picture of the artist or something that had something to do with the theme of the album. The back cover was normally similar to the front of the cover as it had the same theme as the front however, it had the song list of the songs that were going to feature in the CD. The inside of the CD had a little booklet with more information of the CD and lyrics and the inside of the cover on both sides normally matched the theme and colour scheme of the front and back of the album. And on the inside right of the album there is a disc sot for the CD to connect to.
