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 had same player, my first home player was a Mitsubishi it had controls for Play, Stop, Pause and Skip
and I believe that was it, the thing weighed about 20 some pounds, I finally tossed it after forcing the
drawer open to get my Supertramp "Brother Where You Bound" CD out of it. The first CD I ever had a was
compilation CD that came with the CD player, one of my early one's was Holst: The Planets. I used get
Digital Audio magazine and bought a lot of CD's on their recommendations. I bought a lot of Telarc
CD's some had warnings about speaker damage if you weren't careful with the volume. Foghat's
"Stone Blue" blew the tweeters out of speakers twice.

I also had the first car CD Player CDX-R7 I think I paid $750 for it and installed it myself. It was a flop
the error codes drove my nuts and ended up returning to AVC a local company in Winston-Salem back
when we still had real Audio retailers that knew something about what they were selling, they had all
the good stuff McIntosh, B&O, Ortofon, Infinity, etc. I miss going into that place.



A couple of my early CD were Pat Metheny's: 80/81, Oregon's self titled CD and Weather Report: Heavy Weather.
