Abstract: 
"Perturbations of a cosmological model and angular variations of the microwave background" (R.K. Sachs, A.M. Wolfe), Astrophys.J. 147 (1967) 73-90, Gen.Rel.Grav. 39 (2007) 1929-1961
&
"Primeval adiabatic perturbation in an expanding universe" (P.J.E. Peebles,  J.T. Yu), Astrophys.J. 162 (1970) 815-836 

These two papers were the first to develop a theoretical understanding of CMB anisotropies and their cosmological implications.
