First cd purchase

RUSH-Exit...Stage Left!
That was my FIRST CD purchase in
summer of 1987. The Rush CD`S were all released
in the Spring of 1987.
After that was the usual,
Moving Pictures, Signals, etc.
I got the first cd 2 days after I got my FIRST
Kenwood stereo rack with a seperate
power amp, pre-amp, tuner, cassette, turntable,
cd player, all for $999.99

I sold my 1200 LPs in 1988 and immediately went out and bought a Sony CD player and about 30 CDs, mostly ECM recordings.

Genesis - Foxtrot

My first cd purchase was in 1996. I purchased Republicas' self titled album. This band is euro-style dance-techno and their "hit single" was "Ready to go". Needless to say my musical tastes have grown since then but its still fun to play now and then. It actually sounds decent on my hif rig which was surprising when i listened to it again after a few year hiatus. I originally had a discman to play it on.

Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It is still in the collection, but has been replaced by a digital remaster of the same, and recently by the 5.1 DVD-A (which is spectacular)
