“IFA History Feature” brought to you by Messe-Berlin
In 1979 at the Internationale Funkausstellung, known worldwide as IFA, the dawn of the vinyl record came: Sony and Philips showed two competing technologies to record music digitally on silvery discs. Both prototypes, a 12 inch disc at the Philips booth and a 5 inch disc at the Sony stand, suddenly disappeared during the show – secret talks had begun behind the curtain. The format both companies later agreed to was the CD, the compact disc, which revolutionized the record industry, the hardware industry and audio listening.
