Heyday by The Church - this was a good one, actually - their early albums were erratic and their later albums were a little too pretentious for my tastes, but they found a nice balance on this record.

No need to even ask for redemption. I see nothing wrong with it. I would have loved it when it came out (I was 15-years-old). And I think I'm getting my Tom Cruise soundtracks mixed up. I'm too lazy to consult allmusic right now, and am thinking maybe Iko Iko was on the Rainman soundtrack.

I was 15 too ~ it was my favorite movie for that summer And yeah Iko Iko is on the Rainmain soundtrack

I had vinyl for years and after that I bought cassettes because CD players were so damned expensive back in the day. The first CD I ever bought was Prince's .

I think Ginuwine "100%" when I was like 12 and I thought Ginuwine was finest thing on earth. Now I look at him and say "eww, he's so old"

i dont remember..i think it might have been a columbia cd club deal...so i got twelve at one time....

This was the first CD.
The MUTE version.



If by CD, you meant "album", then it was Prince's "PARADE"

Sting - Nothing Like the Sun. I didn't even have a cd player yet. I had to have my uncle tape it for me... I just had to have this music in the best possible quality.

Don't remember the first one I bought, but the first one I owned was:




It came in a longbox; remember those?

Patti Smith--"Horses"

prince - lovesexy and sting - nothing like the sun.

i bought a cd player 88 and was allowed to pick a free cd i picked sting , i then bought lovesexy, i already had all the lovesexy singles on cd and the mega rare (at the time) if i was your girlfriend promo cd single ,..... i bought the singles and i didnt have a cd player !.

The first CD I bought was Prince's 'Graffiti Bridge' in 1990.That's the year when I finally got my first CD player,lol.

the first one was actually a compilation with various 70s & 80s soul classics... but the first "proper" CD release I bought was Shakatak "Manic & Cool" (1988)

I got my first CD player in 1990 and the first CD I bought was the Police's Greatest Hits.

Sting -- Dream of the Blue Turtles, back when the record store only had one teeny tiny row of CD's. People freaked out when I told them I had bought a CD player.

"DESTINY"

Looks like we got a Canadian in the house.
