Do you remember your first cd?


There was a thread concerning Bose 901s the other night and it started me thinking about how early cds sounded on those speakers. The first cd I purchased was Scarecrow by John Mellancamp way back in 86 I think. That cd sounded ok back then but if I were to put it on now the sound would drive me out of the room. I haven't been able to listen to it since the 901s left. Another early cd is U2s The Joshua Tree which also sounds horrible now.
Just wondering now how many can recall their first cd purchase and whether they are listenable still?

I bought the first Peter Gabriel CD and Tchaikovsky's 1812 (Telarc). Believe it or not they were the only two CD's available when I bought my first CDP (I'm guessing this was in 1983). I bought the "perfect sound forever" early on, I apologize to my turntable daily.
