Thanks to the versatile capability of the CD-i, I was able to play back
and discover some hidden features on CD albums that were released as
CD+GRAPHICS. These provides visual accompaniment, viewable on a
television screen, to music recorded on Compact Discs. This
accompaniment can take the form of lyrics, a libretto, music notation,
translations, annotations, or pictures which enhance the listening
experience.
Over the years, I've been in a quest to collect most of the non-karaoke
1-Alphaville "The Breathtaking Blue"

6-Flamin' Groovies "Groovies Greatest Grooves"
7-Fleetwood Mac "Behind The Mask"
8-Emmylou Harris "Pieces In The Sky"
9-Jimi Hendrix "Smash Hits"
10-Honeymoon Suite "Racing After Midnight"
11-Information Society "Information Society"
12-Chris Isaak "Silvertone"
13-Little Feat "Hoy Hoy"
14-Little Feat "Representing The Mambo"
15-GRP "On the Cutting Edge"
16-Van Dyke Parks "Tokyo Rose"
17-Gram Parsons "GP/Grievious Angel"
18-Prince 3" "The Arms of Orion"
19-Bonnie Raitt "Green Light"
