So...what was your first CD? :skeptic:

Elvis Costello Armed Forces and TMBG Flood. Basically buying on CD what I already had on vinyl and tape.. I was probably about 15 when I got a CD player of my own (my father had bought one in like 84 when they were super expensive and I wasn't allowed to touch it so I suffered with a tape player and turntable)

They weren't my first albums... The first album I ever bought on my own was:

I was in 4th grade and it cost 7.95 for the 12 inch and I had to buy a needle for the old record player that my uncle let me have too--that ran about 2 bucks if I remember correctly. Money came from my first baby sitting job.

My father owned a music store (instruments) when I was in 4th - 6th Grade and I used to pay attention to what all the musicians who came in said they were listening to then I'd go to the record store once a week with my baby sitting money and by an album or two. I've got some shit 12 inches this way but I've also got some cool things too like Elvis Costello and Pearl Jam and different things that kids my age weren't listening to.

Though I did buy an MC Hammer 12 in and Vanilla Ice in addition to the NKOTB album above so I did buy some shit when I was little.

Exodus Bob Marley & Songs to learn & Sing Echo and the Bunnymen.

Cheers

Hmmm, trying to remember:

Either

Orbital - The Green Album

The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds

Underworld - Dubnobasstomyheadman

or maybe it was a WARP records compilation.

Cassette - Michael Jackson, "Thriller"

CD - Pink Floyd, "Division Bell"

I bought three with a gift certificate I got for Christmas with my first Sony CD Walkman

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mothers Milk

The Cult - Love

Sex Pistols - Nevermind...

When chicks were for free Mick!

Second Coming-Stone Roses...probably.

What's a CD?

Ah a Cassette Deck :)

We've just got these new fangled things called cassette recorders up here (that must be what you mean, right?) I just replaced my old Substance album with a tape. They're brilliant, you can use them in the car and they won't scratch. Amazing. Whatever next.

ROCKET MICK ...

BUSTED!!!!!!

are you being sarcastic?

When my dad first got a CD player (and I remember a lot of this because we used to drive all over the place), there was only one store IN THE ENTIRE METRO REGION that sold CDs my first memory of going there was in 85 or 86 but I know that my dad had a cd player in 84 (like I said above) because of the model number and the reciepts he saved for ages.

But I digress, at this point 86ish...the only cds they had in stock (that didn't have to be special ordered) were motown and the beatles and oldies stuff... nothing modern. My father had to special order a ton of cds and like twice a month for the longest time our big trip out on weekends would be to the CD store to get whatever he ordered.

There is now a Hoagie shop in it's place.

of course. i should really put in smilies whan I do that. :D

I got my first cd in 86 a good year or so before i had a player.

I think my first CD was A Certain Ratio-REMIXES.Can't remember the proper title,though Steve & Gillian do a good remix on one track on it.A bit of a CD late starter,seeing as I had a shit-load of vinyl and cassettes.

First cassette....ahem....ABBA THE ALBUM.

"And I say...thankyou for the music....the songs we're singing.."

The Bodyguard soundtrack....

Yep, nothing I could say can spare me the shame.

I think it was Elvis' Blue Hawaii that I got in early 1993. My papa got a CD player in September 1992.

Got my first for Christmas from my parents, and none of us had a cd player.....felt kinda stupid just staring at them later that Christmas morning, as I REALLY wanted to listen to them. I got: Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream The Smiths - Best I

NO - Power Corruption and lies

i think me first cd was Technique..

Wacko Jacko - Dangerous in '91

Nitzer Eb "That Total Age"

Prince - "Batdance"

My first full album was either Adam Ant's "Manners and Physique" or Queen's "The Miracle." Guess which one of the three I still own?

Mine was a compilation Dance CD just after Xmas 1991 Hardcore Ecstacy. It had some good Dance tracks on there like - Joey Beltram's Energy Flash, Human Resource Dominator and the Rainforest remix of Moby's Go but also some cheesey s*** like Rozalla and DJ H Featuring Stefy LOL that's best forgotten. Cheers!
