First cd purchase

It was 1985 and I brought home "Brothers In Arms" - Dire Straits. I remember my jaw hitting the floor as it spun in my new Technics CDP.

1983 - A Japanese CD (Denon) called "The Four Seasons in Resonance", with Japanese liner notes. It contained 12 short pieces, one for each month, realized by a Japanese percussion ensemble. It's one of the few CDs in my collection recorded with pre-emphasis and indexing. It had four tracks, one for each season. The months were indexed.

It still plays fine 24 years later and actually sounds pretty good on modern gear.

Funny many of my old cds sound much better than the day I bought them. I aslo remmember the dire predections that years after the cd would discolor and its bits of info would somehow disentergrate. I guess the proff is in the pudding predections like most never happen.

Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms-1985
Perfect sound forever???

AC/CD - Back in Black, Stone Temple Pilots - Core

I think it was around 94. I had mostly recored songs off the radio onto a cheap tape deck before those discs.
