Sound recordings
Notes-bibliography style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

If you listened to a musical or spoken performance on a sound recording, cite the recording. Like published works, such recordings generally have stable and available identifying information and should be listed in your bibliography.

List recordings either under the title of the recording or under the name of the composer or performer, depending on which is more relevant to your discussion. Include as much information about the recording as you can to distinguish it from similar recordings, including the name of the recording company, the identifying number of the recording, the medium, and the copyright date or date of production (or both). Abbreviate compact disc as CD.
