52nd Street by Billy Joel. Also the first CD ever pressed. "Zanzibar" is still one of my all-time favorite songs (his "My Lives" multi-disc set includes the full trumpet solos -- performed by Freddie Hubbard, FYI -- and without a fade-out at the end.



The first CD player I owned was a Sharp DX=110 -- which also happened to be OWC Jamie's first CD player. I have outgrown CD players, I know, but I would love to have one of those on my shelf right now. Nostalgia is a dangerous thing.

Dire Straits first CD. I believe it was the first CD that was completely digital as opposed to analog recording converted to digital.

That wasn't their first CD - that was Brothers in Arms. It set the early standard for what a recording on CD could achieve.

I remember my first CD player was a $600 Denon. Pricey because I was an audiophile then but it was a really beautiful piece of equipment.

I coveted that player back then. That and a NAD receiver.

Yep Brothers In Arms was DDD; that was a big thing - pure digital recording back then. I was obsessive about searching those recordings out

And Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab stuff - I had The Wall and this one (my Sr. year as I recall)

Bruce Springsteen Live 1975-85 box set, when it was first released in November 1986. Then I went to Fry's (original location on Lakeside Drive) and bought a Sony D-5 CD player so I could listen to it.

I have a copy of an EP of one of the singles autographed by some of the band (it was just before this album was released)-- they also put us all on the guest list. This was before bands relying heavily on sequencers knew how to make the performance interesting . . .
