Alphaville The Breathtaking Blue CD+G. 1989.

Some of the CDs had a sticker announcing that the album is in CD G format, meaning that the CD contains graphics and text that can be displayed on a TV or monitor connected to the appropriate hardware (the graphics and text are stored on the CD in the least significant bits of the data stream, and are assembled and displayed as the CD plays). The text contains the album’s lyrics in English, German, Italian and French. Sadly, the CD G format never caught on and has long since disappeared, to be replaced by CDV, CDI, CD-ROM, DVD, etc.
