About
"Bop Till You Drop" is American musician Ry Cooder's eighth album, released in 1979. The album was the first digitally recorded major-label album in popular music, recorded on a digital 32-track machine built by 3M. The album consists almost entirely of covers of earlier rhythm and blues and rock and roll classics, including Elvis Presley's "Little Sister" and the 1965 Fontella Bass-Bobby McClure hit "Don't Mess Up a Good Thing", on which Cooder duets with soul star Chaka Khan. Musicians on the album include a rhythm section of Tim Drummond (bass) and Jim Keltner (drums), along with guitarist David Lindley.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
On hype sticker:
Rock's First All-Digital Recording.
Originally in plastic inner sleeve with WB logo in blue.
Album digitally recorded on 3-M multi-track digital equipment.
This record is essentially an exact copy of the master tape and was not treated with any equalizing or limiting during transfer to disc.
An extra comma was unknowingly placed in between "Records" and "Inc." in the second and last mention of "Warner Bros. Records Inc." It is right next to the former word.
FYI, I see NO extra comma in the supplied label pictures and my variant 2 copy has NO extra comma as well. Submitter needs to clarify this comma. Thanks
