<font color='#000000'>I remember the day I bought my 1st CD player(1993), I ran out &amp; bought Supertramps' &quot;Even in the quietest moments&quot; &amp; Judas Priests' &quot;Unleashed in the east&quot;. Figured I had to have some soft &amp; hard to start my collection.Still got em.</font>

<font color='#000000'>. . . a little late to the party, I see. &nbsp;But, what the heck . . . Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon . . . bought it in 1987.</font>

<font color='#000000'>As I was prepping to buy my first CD player in 1990 (the prep took about 8 years!) I kept telling myself that the first disk I would buy was going to be Rush 2112.

Well, the day of the big purchase finally came so off I went to the music store with CD player in the trunk, just purchased, brand new and in the box, me feeling like I was 7 on Christmas morning. Devastatingly, they did not have 2112 in stock but they did have Supertramp Crime of the Century so I reluctantly bought it, effectively ruining my dream of 2112 being the first (i'm a HUGE Rush fan).
I then headed across the street to our main mall and into another music store that I hated (our options were slim back then). Lo and behold, in all it's glory...2112! Scooped it, headed straight home and promptly hooked my spanky new Yamaha player up to my ghetto blaster!! Sonic Nirvana!! &nbsp;

&nbsp;

My system has come a long long way since then but I still have those two disks. In fact, of all the disks I currently own including DVD-A and SACD that Supertramp disk is one of the finest sounding CD's I have ever heard.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Robert Plant: the principle of moments.

Phil Collins is the drummer on most of the tracks on this one.

Still one of my favorites, along with Fate of Nations!</font>

<font color='#000000'>I think it was Brothers in Arms but it may have been Let it Bleed...in 1985.

I remember buying a case that would hold 25 cds thinking that it would last me for a long time since they were so expesnive and not readily available. By the end of that year I had purchased as many of these cases as I could find since I was buying cds like hotcakes. I now have ~1,800 cds and over 2,000 LP records...and now 26 SACDs!</font>

The first CD I ever purchased was "Take On Me", a japanese CD ep by A-Ha.

The first CD I ever saw was a japanese CD by the Bee Gees, in the middle to late 80's !

I have no idea what the first CD I bought was. But seeing some of the entries got me to thinking about what you wish you never made public about your musical tastes. For instance, when I was a kid, my sister had a boat load of 45's. I wanted a 45 (even though I would have to borrow her record player). So my mom bought me a 45 - the Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You" . About 1 week later, it was also the first record I used for skeet shooting.

I think it was Billy Joel "Song in the Attic" some time in 1986.

Though I've never admitted this before, I bought that 45 as well. I think I eventually used it as a frisbee.

The first vinyl album I owned was The Beatles Second Album, received as a gift when it was first released. I wish I still had it.

The first cd I bought was "Speed of Light" by Pete Bardens.

The first DVD-A I bought was "Hotel California"

In 1987, got my first CD - the Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony from Lorin Maazel conducting the Cleveland Symphony on TELARC, dated 1979, to replace my worn out LP of that title.

 

[kode3]

Michael Jackson's "Bad" album.

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, &quot;Turbo&quot; &amp; &quot;Defenders of the Faith&quot;, as well as &quot;Rage For Order&quot; by Queensryche. I can't recall the order or dates of numbers 4 thru 750, tho!</font>

I do believe it was Rage for me as well.

"Weird" Al Yankovick - Fat

 

[Gatorchong]

My first CD was Sir-Mix-A-Lot, "Mack Daddy".

I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny. . . .

That's actually the first CD I bought. The first one that I owned was some Randy Travis album. Gift from an uncle.

"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."

Get Tesla's new disc, its one of the best rock disc's of the year in my opinion.

First c.d, well since i'm only 15 i got my first c.d. when i was 5 metallica's kill em' all.

 

[FallenAngel]

Beethoven's 3rd, cheap-o Naxos edition.

Last vinyl was Peter Gabriel - Us. Will be one of my first SACD as well.

Rush's Moving Pictures was my first CD back in '87. Still have it too. I can tell it's older because the case and disk are much thicker and heavier than the new disks.
