What was the first CD you ever bought?
I was going thru my CDs a few days ago, putting away my discs after buying a few new ones, and I came across an old CD that I had (in my youthful ignorance) written my name and the date on: Back In Black, 8/11/87. That got me thinking about just when I bought what.

I bought 3 CDs together on the day I got my first CD player, I think in '86. I bought two Judas Priest discs, "Turbo" & "Defenders of the Faith", as well as "Rage For Order" by Queensryche. I can't recall the order or dates of numbers 4 thru 750, tho!

Bruce Hornsby & Range "The Way It Is"

However I no longer own it. My second CD purchase was Bob James "Ivory Coast" and I have recently rediscovered it and love it!

Hi,
It's funny I've missed a generation of technology.
I had a record player and in the 80's a reel to reel, but the only cd player i ever had was a walkman and I bought 2 discs on the first day. it was Journey and Asia's first discs, anyway, one of them had Eye of the Tiger on it and i used to jog playing that song.  I don't have those discs anymore, my girlfriend had one of those Blasters that i guess we used from time to time.

Now I have 5 dvd players including 2 dvd-a and 1 sacd and almost 140 discs all purchased in the last 6 months.

Bruce Springsteen "Born In The USA" 1984. When I purchased this disk there were very few titles to choose from. The disk I purchased was manufactured in Japan. This was before there was very much cd production capability in the US. I believe the current disks of the above title are made in the U.S.

My first CD was REM Eponymous around 1988-1989.  It is one of the few disks lost during my college days.  Wish I had it back.

I think it might have been Rob Base. I don't know how many of you are familiar with him.

But Moving Pictures was right at the beginning somewhere, after my tape warped in the summer heat in the car.

Beethoven 9th, Dohnanyi/Cleveland, on Telarc. At least it was one of the first.

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms.

jeffsg4mac · Dec 27, 2003

It was a telarc CD, some guitar player, joe pass I think.

seabiscuit · Dec 29, 2003

Back in 1985 it was a Telarc Sampler, #1 I believe. Bright and grainy!

My first CDs were Led Zepplin 3, and Metallica's ...And Justice For all, back in 1988. I had one of those cd players that let you see the disc spinning inside and I remember not feeling right about the disc spinning so fast, with the music coming out normally. I was very much used to the LP back then. I remember giving away the CDs to my girlfriend and I took the player back to the store. I stuck with LPs for a couple more years after that, eventually giving in to CD. I'd have to say that CD has gotten way better than it used to be. Remeber those CD longboxs they used to come in? I hear they're minor collectables now.

U2 - Achtung Baby.  I'm still impressed at how different it was in 1991

Rip Van Woofer · Jan 16, 2004

A. Vivaldi : Hey, anybody remember those CD longboxs they used to come in? I hear that those are a minor collectable now.

For who? People who collect torture implements?

I still have Tesla's "Psychotic Supper" CD in the cardboard longbox, never even ripped the plastic.

You must not have liked Tesla too much huh? lol. That was their best and last album as far as I'm concerned, at least I thought so at the time. It's been a looooong time since I've heard it.

Rob Babcock · Jan 17, 2004

Actually, I loved Tesla.  The first album, "Mechanical Resonance" was brilliant.  The second one was superb, too.  I saw them opening for Def Leppard right after the first album came out, and it was one of the best shows I saw that decade.  But I thought "Psychotic Supper" was sorta lame, and "Bust a Nut" was a crime against music (the band actually issued a public apology for the album later!).

I bought if for my brother for his birthday many years ago only to find he already had it.  The disc got tossed in a box somewhere and I found it years later.  It's a cool souvenir of the 80's!
