Do you remember your first Compact Disc? - Page 2

Herbert von Karajan conductng the Berlin Philharmonic performing Beethoven's 9th - ah the pleasure to be able to here the piece in it's entirety without having to turn the record over - that changed everything.

Still have the disk, and seemed fine when I ripped it into my MP3 archive...

Nope, no clue.

Beethoven's 9th is supposed to be the reason CDs are the playing length that they are. The Japanese are fanatical about the 9th so a CD had to be long enough to accomodate that piece.

I'm a bit fanatical about that one myself

Me, too. I have the Leonard Bernstein Berlin Wall version with the Ode to Freedom instead of Ode to Joy.

Quite a few of my first CDs were classical pieces. The classical department at The Wherehouse (where I worked and pilferred from) got CDs a little bit before the rest of the store. Wow, was that 25 years ago!?!

After getting my first CD player, a Sony Discman, in about 1989:

1) Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show

2) The Best Of Credinece Clear Water Revival

I still have both of the CDs and the Discman, though the battery no longer charges. I've thought about selling the "Vintage CD player" on eBay.......

Garth Brooks - No Fences
Howard Jones - um still have it somewhere but I can't remember which one.

Bought on the same day, before I owned a player:
Philip Glass -- Satyagraha
