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.......

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

Howard Jones - um still have it somewhere but I can't remember which one.

I don't remember the first CD I bought, but I do remember one of the clerks at the Tower Records in Brea in the early 80's. I was buying a couple CDs. He sneered and commented that I was wasting my money because "these things" were just a fad....

Chicago 18 - I got it even before I had the player.

Hrm...I'm not sure I can remember which one was first. It was probably Operation:Mindcrime. I wonder where that one is now? I still like that one.

I too purchased my first disc before I had a player. It was Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon.

I still have that first one, but have also added the remastered version of the disc to my collection. All tolled, I have probably owned about six versions of that album iin my lifetime.

FWIW, I also remember the first full-length album I purchased: the eight-track version of Kansas - Leftoverture. My first 45 RPM single was Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane
