Tears For Fears - The Hurting

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

Rimsky Korsakov Sheherezade with Kyrill Kondrashin & the Concertgebow
Berlioz Symphony Fantastique Colin Davis & the Concertgebow
Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2 (can't remember which one now)
Mahler Symphony #1 with Berstein
Boston's first album
Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

all from Tower Records and they were $22.99 way back then. I had a Sony first generation player and it lasted a good long time, too. In fact, when I gave it away many moons later, it was still working like a dream, and probably still is.

Collection of cds increased a good deal once I started working for Tower, between promo copies and the employee discounted ones. Still have many, a few in lean times were sold to Streetlight Records, but about 2500 still left so I'm not lacking in music.

And I don't have The Wall, Animals nor Dark Side of the Moon. Pathetic!
