I don't remember much, but I remember......

Not sure about you guys but it seems to me that things are getting a little tense here again and we need to have a little bit of fun! I was enjoying an evening of listening to my rig and then I saw it...my first CD(sorry guys too young for LP's!). I remember everything about the day I got it, the weather, the time, where it was purchase, even the price! The CD was U2's "Achtung Baby" I put the CD in(I have not listened to it in years)and was brought back to a time not too long ago when things seemed.....well, simpler. Then I got to think what a profound impact that one event had on my life, the joy of music. Does anyone else remember there first CD or LP? did it have as much of an impact on you as mine had on me?

Tim, I can't even remember where I parked this morning, but I always appreciate your ability to have fun and look at life the way that you do!
All I do remember is that it was old, heavy, played at 33 RPM's and it was probably something like "Snow White and Rose Red", not music, but one of my first records that was my very own. Yer pal - angela

My first record was a 45 - Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" (around 1957). My first LP was The Platters "Great Pretender" (around 1960). Joel

LP: "Drag City" Jan&Dean (still own it) CD: "Way Out West" Sonny Rollins (was a freebee when I purchased my $600 Yamaha first-gen player). And the Gods made love...

First LP I remember listening to a lot was Danny Kaye: "Hans Christian Anderson" on one side and "Tubby the Tuba" on the other. First LP I bought was "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Or, could it have been the Monkee's first album? If it was the latter, the evidence is long gone, so I'm sticking with "Sgt. Pepper's." I believe my first 45 was "Downtown," Petula Clark. I got into CDs late. First purchase was k.d. lang's "Absolute Torch and Twang," but years after it was first released.

DoWah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do was my first 45, played by a fine sewing needle and paper "horn" held by a 10yr old human "arm" on my folks broken Phico console.
I was hooked! Next came my very own Hammond B!
