I remember it well because I thought it sounded amazing.

Paul Simon - Graceland

I'm SHOCKED I tell ya... positively shocked!

Why the hesitation? Just go ahead and tell us.




Oh.

Me too! It's at least among the first 5 I purchased. This was also among my most played. The disc was stolen from my car some years back, but I stole downloaded a replacement. Some of the tracks are messed up though. :(

Most of my first discs were gifts from my dad, so I've got a Byrds greatest hits, a Dylan greatest hits, and Carol King's Tapestry early on.

I know! I Hope you were sitting down when you read that. Seriously! How about some warning next time! :p


My first CD that I purchased was... uh... I have no idea.

But my very first CD was a burned copy of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club.

Me too!

Your Dad has good taste in music!

Phillip Glass - The Photographer

The Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack-before I owned a cd player. 1984 I believe

Snowflake, was this the early MCA disc? that release eliminated some tracks so that the double album could be fit onto one cd. For that reason, I wouldn't buy it.

This was common practice in the earliest days of the CD. I did accidentally pick up an abbreviated version of Mike Oldfield's "Incantations," which cut out by far my favorite four minutes of the piece. :mad:

I well remember my first stack of CD purchases, all of which I still have:

Chess - original studio recording
Phantom of the Opera - original cast
Frank Zappa - London Symphony Orchestra
Mike Oldfield - Islands
Genesis - Genesis
Yello - Claro Que Si

At the time, selection was fairly limited, and a lot of my punk and new wave faves were no shows.
