Semi OT: The first "CD" you bought.

[StoneCold]

Geez, when CD's came out, we were paying 15 - 18 bucks apiece for them. Do you remember the first one you bought?

Here's mine, 'cept it was in the "long box".

[Don]

Chicago 17, Heart (the self titled album) and Tooth andNail. It was either 1986 or 87 and the discs cost between 19 and 22 dollars at the base exchange.

I loved that disc! We recently mentioned ASIA Anthology here, and Downes/Payne recorded a version of GTR's "The Hunter"... I never knew quite why, and I certainly never preferred it to the original.

Owner's right, I guess... because Geoff Downes did write "The Hunter"... and was the producer of GTR.

[Diffworlds]

My first CD was Foreigner's Inside Information. "Say You Will" was all over the radio at the time and I broke down and bought a CD/stereo system and the CD within a week of each other. I still go back an listen to the CD and have the flashbacks to sitting my first apartment with the speakers turned up to 11.

[(Crazy)Dulce Lady]

i don't remember the exact one but I was so on board with the technology. i had HAD IT with vinyl scratched up mess, cassette tape tangles and the dreaded 8 track machine breakdown.

I was waiting in line at 4am the day that they 1st became available, figuratively speaking.

but I'll bet a dime and a donut that it was FRONTIERS.

now I have HUNDREDS.

I hired a decorator to help with the den design, new couch, etc. she sez, "the first thing we'll need to do is donate or sell or throw away all these cds."



I sez, "You're fired".
