Do you remember your first cd?


There was a thread concerning Bose 901s the other night and it started me thinking about how early cds sounded on those speakers. The first cd I purchased was Scarecrow by John Mellancamp way back in 86 I think. That cd sounded ok back then but if I were to put it on now the sound would drive me out of the room. I haven't been able to listen to it since the 901s left. Another early cd is U2s The Joshua Tree which also sounds horrible now.
Just wondering now how many can recall their first cd purchase and whether they are listenable still?

My first CD was a gift - Bach harpsichord sonatas - received about a year before I had a player (1984).
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.
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.
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.
