      Nice!!! Excellent choice!
      I recall seeing the Banshee's catalog appear on CD as an import first before being released domestically. I think it was the "Scream" back in 1985. Always hung out at the import section awaiting what albums were going to be pressed on CD.

          I bought my 1st CD in 1997 Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem

          I had a CD player on my Hi-Fi set up but never used it,was a big fan of vinyl records and tape cassette's.

            I bought Positively Dumptruck, by Dumptruck - a very obscure band from ...Maine, maybe? The SECOND one I bought was "Chips from the Chocolate Fireball" by Dukes of Stratosphere. This was 1987, I was 16 years old and fancied myself a music snob already. I won't mention the Eurythmics CD I got from the Columbia record club a few months previously...

              Another person with great taste in music. Great choices from cool bands.
              Snob? Aren't we all to some degree when it comes to ear candy?

                    Very good album, I bought that CD when it first came out.

                    How much did CDs cost in the US at the beginning? They were around $24.99 in Canada at the time, and after being used to paying $10-13 for vinyl or cassettes, paying double or more was really rough.

                      When vinyl became scarce, I had gone onto tapes because that was all I had in my car and in my theatre days, I did a lot of travel time. My wife (then my wife to be) gave me a walkman as a gift for our first xmas together. Since I didn't own any CDs, one of my wife's co-workers had the Gin Blossoms that they didn't want anymore so it came to be my first CD. The first ones I actually bought were of Billy Joel (River of Dreams), Bruce Horsby (Harbor Lights), and a Star Trek compilation soundtrack.
                      It's all good!

                            I got U2's Unforgettable Fire when the salesman at Sears threw it in for buying a CD boom box.

                              It was either No Doubt's Tragin Kingdom or the soundtrack for the Madness of King George movie.

                                at least the village people have some cheesy 70's hits someone might want to play at a party or something. YMCA anyone?
