From this week's Spectator (a UK weekly):
"In the early 1980's, Jerry Moss of A&M led label bosses in lobbying against CD. As it was, the CD boom helped to enable the sale of A&M to PolyGram for $500 million in 1989". (I thought it was 1991...)
Does anyone know the background to this claim and whether it's true?
