This probably applies mostly to those of us who were already buying music in the mid-1980s when the CD format really started to make an impact.

My first purchase was In The Court Of The Crimson King but this was in the early/mid 90's so it doesn't count and I suck.
I was buying tapes before this, though. |

Funny 'cause mine is Desintegration (around 1991-1992). It's still one of my favorite albums ever. |

I've heard a re-issue of that Karajan recording. He's a great conductor if you ignore the whole rabid anti-semitism thing. My first CD was Menwe@r's Nuisance. I still quite like it.

David Bowie's Tha Man Who Sold The World. It was from the first wave of re-issues of his back catalogue that came with the bonus tracks/outtakes. The next day I got The Jesus And Mary Chain's Psychocandy and I still listen to it, cd technology explanation writing and all.

It was either "Heaven Up Here" by Echo and the Bunnymen or "Garlands" by Cocteau Twins. Not sure which.
1988. |

I don't remember what my first CD was. I remember there being very little choice at the time, and so I bought things like The Cult's Love album, just to have another CD. I think my first was either The Best of The Damned, or Beastie Boys Licensed To Ill.

I got on the cd bandwagon really really late. I think it was '90 before I bought a player (I have a large vinyl collection and would only play that and tapes).
I got a spacemen 3 cd (LOSING TOUCH WITH YOUR MIND) because I couldn't find a copy on vinyl. I had to use my friends cd player in order to listen to it and that got old fast....so I broke down and went digital. these days, my records sit wasted and even playing tapes can be a chore. ![]() |

The beginnings were indeed humble: the first CDs to be pressed were "The Visitors" by Swedish pop group ABBA, the top-selling artists of Philips record label Polygram, and a classical recording by Herbert von Karajan conducting "An Alpine Symphony" by Richard Strauss.

There's no way I'm shoving a CD up my bum. An ipod, maybe, but not a CD.

"The first Compact Discs pressed were The Visitors by ABBA and a recording of the Eine Alpensinfonie by Richard Strauss conducted by Herbert von Karajan. They rolled off the assembly line on August 17, 1982, reaching the market in late 1982 in Asia, and early the following year in the United States and other markets."
Which is what sonicl said, but worded differently. |
