Do you remember your first Compact Disc? - Page 5

€uroMeinke · 08-17-2007, 07:51 PM

Now I remember when I saw my first CD - I think it was at Aarons, where they kept the few they had in a glass case by the register. I think at that time only classical discs were available - all made from that one CD factory in Germany

I recall looking at them at awe, talking about their indestructible nature, "well, you can't smear peanut butter on them and still play them - but almost." the man behind the counter claimed.

Though I don't believe I was the purchaser (I was... 10? 9?), but I picked out Guns N' Roses Appetite for Destruction.

I think I loved the artwork. I still love the CD.

Yes and it has been replaced

I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't make the switch to cd's until the early nineties. (I was a cassette kind of gal). I think my first one was Nirvana's Nevermind.

I don't remember exactly which one was my first, I think it was one of my many different copies of Dark Side of the Moon

Could somebody in a position of power please correct the title? I do realise that at this point it probably makes no difference at all, but it would make me happy.

Thank you.

Well, I did it, but I was kinda reclining on my sofa with the laptop balanced on the armrest, I don't know if that really qualifies as a position of power. I hope that's okay.

Crowded House. My sister gave it to me {the one that looks like a wooden box or something like that}. I remember being in awe that I actually had a cd.

I didn't have a cd player, but I was on my way.

Did you have to mention peanut butter???? I've been sitting here trying not to think of that jar of grape Goobers I bought....or wanting to eat some chorizo....

My first LP was Elvis, a yellow one with him on the cover in yellow...don't remember the name. First 45 was also Elvis~'Don't Cry Daddy'.

Not that you asked...

I kinda got started late with Compact disc. I remember buying my first Sony Discman with Phil Collins-Live! It was fun. Good times.
