Since the Beatles were defunct nearly a decade before the first laser discs were produced, I think this claim is false.

Are you thinking Laser Disc or COMPACT disc? They are two totally different things.

Laser disc, the 12" discs that movies first came on...I was told that the Beatles were the first to use this media for music.

 I'm impressed! I thought I was one of the few dinosaurs that had any memory of them. Still have well over 100 in my collection and a Pioneer DVL-919 for them.  As for the original question, I have no idea, but it's a good one.

Wiki says the first disc marketed in North America was "Jaws" in 1978, so you can use that as a date to search on/after to narrow things down.

I have no idea, but I came into the possession of a laser disc player years ago when I got it in a trade (along with $50) for an old computer. The guy didn't know any better and told me it was a DVD player. I was disappointed, so I put it on eBay a while later. Imagine my shock when the thing sold for $161.
I didn't know people would pay so much for defunct technology but I was wrong.

Believe it or not the Voyager disks are a PHONOGRAPH RECORD. NASA included the stylus and cartridge along with instructions on how to use them. voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/goldenrec.html |
