Don't know about that one, but the first digitized audio recording I
ever heard had been digitized on a C64. "Why Can't This Be Love?" by Van

Mine was Flesh for Fantasy by Billy Idol, also on the c64. Don't know
which demo came first (and I'd be surprised if anyone knew the release
dates for any of these early demo-scene releases), but the Billy Idol song
is an older song.
I have no idea which one came first. I was just amazed that a cheap
little home computer could do that while the vaunted PCs couldn't.
The C64's SID (Sound Interface Device) chip was a 4-voice synthesizer
with full control over ADSR. Quite a potent little thing!
