1st CD

[bobbait]

do you remember you 1st CD? I bought a CD player 1984 for $400 at Sears (only credit card I had at the time) and I bought a Billy Joel Cd (but i cant remember which one it was)

[huedell]

somebody knew I liked THE DOORS and bought me L.A. WOMAN
---that was the start of my CD buying (after that gift of course)

EDITED to say I didn't have my own CD player til TEN years (plus) after
Bob got his!

My first CD was "Bad Animal" by Heart. I think my second was the album by Billy Joel that had "Goodnight Saigon" on it, I loved that song.

My first CD player was a Fisher. It was a piece of junk. It had no suffle, scan, etc; it only had FF REV, Play, and Stop. Plus it skipped more than an 8 year old girl in a hopscotch tournament!!!

Mine was "Brotehrs in Arms" by Dire Straits, "Selling England by the Pound" & "Three Sides Live" by Genesis and "War of the Worlds" by Jeff Wayne.
My First vinyls were "Dare" by Human League and "PLastic Age" by Buggles...just in case you wanted to know.

Hmmmm....

"Triumph: Classics." I still have my original CD player. It was a CD/tape/radio portable jobbie; and it's sitting right next to me as I write. The CD player doesn't work any more, and I use it to listen to the radio while I check my e-mail.

Public Enemy "Fear Of A Black Planet" around 1990 cuz I couldn't find it on record (and I didn't even own a cd player!). I still pretty much hate CD's. Albini was right--the rich man's 8 track tape......HA!

Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon.

I specifically bought my first DVD player when Dark Side was released just to play it.

The Joshua Tree. I got my first CD player in 87. Before that it was all records for me.

I bought my first CD player at Sears for $200 in 1984, too. The salesman threw in a free CD to entice me into buying their protection plan, so I picked The Unforgettable Fire by U2.

[mitchedwards]

my 1st CD was a portable unit, that I later traded for X-men #1.
My 1st CD was Bryan Adams

Public Enemy "Fear Of A Black Planet"

My next door neighbor owns a record store and I gave him a box of records one time I picked up at a garage sale. I asked him what records are rare and he told me some early "Public Enemy" and "2 Live Crew" albums that do not contain the parental advisory sticker are pretty valuable. These two bands are the major reason the label was added. He said he had recently sold an unopened 2LC CD, "Banned in the USA" for nearly $200.

"Samson & Gert" a belgian child duo, but at that time I was only 8 years old. So I was very happy with it.
Now I buy punk & Rock CD's.

Funny my first CD player was from sears as well. First CD Queen's greatest hits, News of the word and the game. Got all 3 at the same time they wher on Electra at the time. Sold News of the word and greatest hits 2 years ago for $350 each. CD player is long gone.

I remember it well....Genesis 3 Sides Live.

I'm always a late technology adopter and didn't purchase my first CD player until around 1987 or so.

I was a vinyl junkie and disliked CDs just because I felt you got so much more with vinyl.
As time went on I realised that they were the future and had to cave in.

The first CD I bought was Achtung Baby by U2 - I didn't even have a CD player at the time and bought a copy on vinyl as well. I used my brothers CD player to listen to it. I carried on buying vinyl well into the early 90s - big mistake really because all i'm doing now is replacing it all on CD.
I'm not into the downloading thing at all - although CD packaging is smaller I still want packaging.
