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?

Pink Floyd - the final cut.
I remeber - each truck starts at very low volume, so I kept increasing it. And than on track 7, after very low volume, the explosion came. I thought I blew all the windows in the house. I haven't listened to it for a very long time.

Hey Kelly, I was thinking of putting in my first 45, but in my haste I forgot.

96 Tears- by ? and the Mysterians, ca. 1966

I don't still have that one, I wore that sucker out several decades ago.

Cd-Peter Gabriel "So" in 86 or 87 and first lps were The Guess Who (America Woman) and Steppenwolf (Born to be Wild) in 71 I think. Not sure of the titles as they were all stolen while at uni. Had some great blues albums back then also. My first 8 track was the Easy rider soundtrack! I believe my first cassete was Iron Butterfly. Piezo the seed reference brings back old memories. Ever open an old album and found a 30 year old "j" inside. LOL

My fist lp was American Woman by The Guess Who. Not sure of the year (68 maybe) but it was a new release. Shortly after that I joined Columbia Record Club and ordered Big Brother and the Holding Company, Doors 1st, Blood Sweat and Tears to name a few. What do ya think I was doing while enjoying that music? Wow the memories.
