Do you remember your first Compact Disc?

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.

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.
