Count me in for Dire Straits - "Brother in Arms" as well. Also bought it prior to my first digital player. Still one of my favorites! |
My first CD was the Telarc Copland Fanfare for the Common Man/Appalachian Spring/Rodeo disc with Lane and the Atlanta Symphony--still sounds pretty good today. Telarc's early Soundstream recordings were well-made, sound even better on SACD than you'd expect, particularly in the bass, where they've managed to tame the overblown bass drum somewhat. |
My first cd was Neil Young "Harvest" I didnt even own a cd player at the time most of the selctions available at the time were of no interest to me for there were few rock cd's besides Billie Joel. So I had to go out and purchase a cd player I believe it was an early Yamaha player. |
1st - Dire Straights brothers in arms
2nd - The Who whos better whos best
3rd - Pink Floyd - animals
And yes, I still have them. I'd think that they are the oldest things I own along with my high school diploma, year books, first hammer and first watch(timex - still works). Now I'm really starting to show my age. |
My first CD was JJ Cale, Grasshopper. Still listen to it. |
Metallica Black album in 1991. I played it on a $10 sears CD boom box, we bought at a garage sale. That was my first CD and my first system. Previous to that I just had a clock radio with a tuner. Music was just something I made myself or I listened at other people's houses. |
I bought a cd in order to audition my first cd player. "Matthew Ward's Greatest Hits" I had the tape so I had some idea how this music was supposed to sound. He is the lead singer of Acts Chapter 2. The first track sounded awful on a Sony 601ES changer but sounded fine on the Rotel 965LE so I bought the Rotel. That was 5 or so years ago but I still listen to the player and the cd. |
Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms....still have it.
Now, for us older folks, do you remember your first LP?
Cream- Disraeli Gears.....still have it. |
My first CD was a gift - Bach harpsichord sonatas - received about a year before I had a player (1984). |
Steeley Dan - AJA - 1985 - still have it. |
Hi, good thread. RUSH-Exit...Stage Left was the
VERY FIRST CD that I bought back in the EARLY SUMMER
of 87. I was a senior in High School and I got it
the FIRST DAY that I got my CD player.
I STILL have that SAME CD to this day. |
First cd was Jimi Hendrix - Live at Winterland. I did'nt even had a cd player then, so I had to wait for my parents to leave so I could play it on their stereo. How the time shave changed..... It still sounds reasonable, and the music is of the finest ever recorded. |
Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms it was free for joining BMG I didn't even have a player. Now I wanna get the SACD. |
Dark Side Of The Moon! It sounded pretty good on my mid fi system. |
|
Front 242 "Official Version" and it sounds horrible now |
Gary Numan - The Fury (1985?)
I still have it and still am a fan.

Milli Vanilli.. I didnt get into digital until the late 80's and I guess I got off to a bad start :~) |
My first cd purchase was Bob James Grand Piano and yes it still sounds good today.
