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?

When I got back from the Army in '87, I bought Pink Floyds The wall, The Black Crowes, and Rush's first one. Still have them today, although I don't listen to them much. I also have the very first lp I ever bought. All the Worlds a stage by Rush. I can see it from were I'm sitting. I think I paid $7 for it with some birthday money I saved.
Joni Mitchell Court and Spark and ELP-Pictures at an Exhibition. Both cd's were purchased late 1983 and played on a $150 Magnavox player-Toshiba SA-750 receiver and Ohm Walsh 2 speakers with the cheapest Kimber Kable.
Claire Marlo, Let It Go on Sheffield Lab, 1989. I see that it is being reissued, it is interesting because she played all the synthesizer music and arranged and produced everything.
She has a very nice voice and sings nice songs...
I bought Ry Cooder's Bop till You Drop at Her Majesty's Voice record store on Oxford street in London in the early '80s before any were released in the US. I later bought a Dual cd player which was awful. Later I got the Meridian player which was okay.
Yes indeed, I remember it well. Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing 1987 right after I just purchased my first CD player, a Sony CDP620ES. I quickly found out that there was something about digital playback that just didn't connect me to the music but for the life of me I didn't know what it was.
