My first LP - the first "The Shadows" album.
In mono.
Wonderful ! |
First cd Hell Freeazes Over- (the store used it as a demo disc when auditioning my old Sony cd player in the midlate 80's).
First lp Zep IV- I had to do some work for my Dad to earn the 6 bucks needed for the purchase. I remember thinking I must really love music to do all this work for a record!

I remember the first LP I bought, but can't recall the first CD. I guess it wasn't such a big deal. Kind of like my first kiss. I remember it well. The second I can't recall. |
First CDs were Metallica's Black album and Led Zeppeling Remasters box set, around '91. Bought them the day after Christmas after my parents bought me a Sony Discman. |
Depeche Mode: People are People. I listened to it a thousand times a month. |
Steve Windwood .. Back In The High Life. A friend invited me over to check out this amazing new technology and he played this cd for me. I went out the next day and bought a cd player and the cd. |
Sigh...sure do but it was nothing compared to the first time I took the grills off and admired a pair of woofers. |

Charles Brown, "One More for the Road". |
When I bought my first CD player ( Sony CDP-101 ?), the dealer gave me a copy of "Shostakovich Symphony No. 5, Op. 47, Lorin Maazel The Cleveland Orchestra. Telarc CD-80067". 30 yrs. Old and still sounds good. |
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. |
"Atavachron" by Alan Holdsworth. I think it was his first venture into the guitar synthesizer. It was released in 1986. The CD sounded great then, and and sounds fine on my current rig. That guy can tear up a guitar; then AND now. |
Fresh Air 2 by Mannheim Steamroller. |
Duran duran's decade. In the late 80's. |
Duran duran's decade. In the late 80's. That album was a good collection of the radio single hits, however, Strange Behaviour is the one to go for with the glorious club extended mixes with extreme dynamics. Duran Duran roots was as a night club dance band more than anything else and that was their primary focus rather than radio hits. The dance extended versions were not just remixes like what everyone else put out - they actually went back to the studio to record extended versions. |
