What was the first CD you ever bought?

Got the idea from the embarrassing music in your collection thread!

Mine was Divine Madness by Madness - still have it in my collection and I still listen to it.

So what was yours? Can also be LP's I suppose! And do you still play it?

WHen I started buying there were no CDs. This was after the rinderpest but not by a lot.

So the first LP I bought was "After The Flood" - Bob Dylan and The Band.

Haven't listened to that for years. Don't think I own a copy of it right now.

I'd rather not go back as far as ''my first LP'' and ''first seven single'', thank you! :-[

But my first CD was The Best of the Doobie Brothers.

I soon had a small collection - which subsequently got stolen (people still broke into your home back then to steal only your CD player and CDs...) The first disk I replaced, was Pearl Jam's Vs. Still got it - these days I play it to my kids.

Cant remember really but of the really early ones Led Zep I/II, Concert for Bangladesh (who remembers that?),

First tape -Michael Jackson's Thriller
First CD - Hendrix's Electric Ladyland

The first one I bought with saved up pocket money was Wings - Band on the run (LP) in 1974. R3.99 at Dions Flora Centre

Although my Dad had bought me The Who - Live at Leeds and Albert Hammond Free Electric Band and The Best of the Beach Boys, so officially my 4th album.

Took me a while to get a CD player, but it as Acoustic Alchemy - Reference point.

I think the first CD that I bought was Robert Plant's "Manic Nirvana"

First CD: PF - Dark side of the moon

First single: Police - Don't stand so close to me

First LP: A VERY embarrassing Boney M ?

Mine definitely goes back to LP days. And this gonna scare a whole lot of people because you won't know who I'm talking about.
"Conniff Meets Butterfield." 1959.
I was a keen trumpeter back then and Billy Butterfield could blow a mean horn. No, I don’t have it in my collection.

Ray

Hey Pete, thought you were talking about Paul Butterfield. I had a LP of the PB band, cant even remember the name of the album. Now when I try to buy them i just cant find locally. Anyone got any Ras Dumisani?

doc-phil

My first tape was the best of the BeeGees :-[ (what the heck?)

The first cd that I bought was P.O.D - Satelite.

I will never forget the day we got our first cd player!!!!
My parents took me out to a cd store and told me to pick 2 cd's.
I got the following:
Nirvana - Unplugged
Metallica - Black album

Still love the albums!

AlanRatcliffe

First Album: Toyah, Anthem
First CD: I bought all my favourite Floyds at the same time (DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, The Wall, Final Cut) and my two favourite Tulls (Songs from the Wood, Heavy Horses).
Never bought singles.

sepheritoh

I think my first LP's was

Message from the country - The Move
and
Greatfull Dead (aka. Skulls & roses)

I got them as a gift

First one I bought was Deep Purple - Made in Japan

First CD I can not remember. I just somehow one day and woke up with a whole house full of them.

dee

I can't remember 100%, but it was either Green Day's Insomniac, or The Offspring's Ixnay On The Hombrè.

However, the first ever CD I got was a birthday present from my brother, The Signs Were All There by a band called Blameless. Such a good album, I wonder what ever happened to the band...

chris77

Mine was Dookie - Green Day. Dont have it anymore. Ray@ Hehehe, I presume you're refering to Ras's epic masterpiece Anthems? Seriously though, wtf were they thinking?!?

Riaan

First ever CD: Chris Rea's Auberge
Before that, my first ever LP: Dire Straits's first album
I did buy various singles in the late 70's, especially Blondie, ELO, Kiss. Usually after hearing the cover version on the Springbok Hits records...remember those?

Renesongs

I purchased my first Album in 1970 Johnny Winter And - It was "liberated' from me during the 70's and eventually it came back to roost in the 80's. I still have it. The first CD I bought was Weather Report - Heavy Weather because my vinyl and tape versions where worn through. The first DVD I bought was Pink Floyd live at Pompeii
