What Was The First Music CD You Acquired?

[Rick-o]

abevilac's jewel box thread below got me thinking about the first music CD that came into my possesion. I waited a bit until CD's started taking off commercially and then took the plunge. IIRC, the players were expensive and I think I paid well over $300. for a Pioneer CD model of the time.

"Stop Making Sense" by Talking Heads was my first. I played the heck out of that disc! My then wife really started to hate it when I turned on the stereo. :biggrin:

How about you? What was your first music disc?

Metallica's Master of Puppets.

Not 100% sure, but I think it was Dire Straits first/self titled album.

My first CD was ZZTop's Afterburner, so I guess that means 1985. My first player was an entry-level, $250 Onkyo obviously bought at the same time. I think the year before the cheapest players were about double that; they dropped in price and I bit.

At the time it sure seemed like the future, and yeah like everyone else I began a CD collection, but that was before I got a better turntable setup and discovered what high fidelity really is.

Bob Dylan - New Morning

I didn't own a cd player until I got my first Mac in 1997.

I think it was stop making sense too. I spent less than you on the player though, I think under $100. My understanding is that CD player I bought in 1985 is still working and still in use by a friend.

Dire Straits first CD. I believe it was the first CD that was completely digital as opposed to analog recording converted to digital. I was working in a stereo store at the time. Got the CD before the player. Got the player through Onkyo's salesperson accommodation deal at Christmas. Paid about $150 for their top of the line cd player at the time.

This is kind of distressing . . . CDs came along around 1983, but I don't seem to have any that I would have acquired before 1993 or so.
I know I got hassled by customs once, probably 1990 or 1991-ish, where they made a big deal out of a cheap portable CD player, but pretty much ignored a $300 Walkman Pro-- so I must have had some CDs then . . .


I'm going to go with my Morrissey CDs being the oldest in my collection . . .
