This was my first CD in '94. My first record was a 45 single - Hound Dog by Elvis Presley in '59.

I think it was either this one



or this one..

That's mine too. (Technically two CDs though, lol.)

Back in 1986.....

CD:

Chaka Demus & Pliers - tease me

CDs didn't exist when I bought my first album.

'The Broadway Album' Barbra Streisand.
Believe it or not.

A very good album, still.

But what was the first CD you bought?
I had a vinyl collection also when CD's debuted.
I was never into cassettes. I'd buy the albums and make my own cassettes.
A couple of years ago I dumped my cassette collection.
Even though I rarely played them, they were still deteriorating.
I used to have a cassette briefcase for road trips. Now I have a 120G IPod for road trips.

Got my first CD player in '90... 2 days before I got it, I got this as my first CD:



and on the same day as I got my CD-player I bought this second CD:

I didn't have a CD Player until 1997 because we were broke. This was when even a cheap, tiny boombox that you can get anywhere for $15 - $20 used to be $100 minimum.

My first CD's I got with the a very nice boombox as a gift were Boyz II Men's "Evolution" and Matchbox Twenty's "Yourself Or Someone Like You".

My very first cd was Prince's "Scandalous" maxi-single.

Michael Jackson - Bad 1987.

A bootleg of the Black Album. I didn't have a CD player, so I had to wait months to hear it. But I loved it when I finally did.

I have it as a 12" vinyl EP.

mariah music box

My first album/lp:

My first cassette was Purple Rain

I didn't have a cd player till about'90 and in all honesty can't remember what was first.Most likely something Prince as I immediately got to work on rebuying all his music on cd.

Whitney was my first and a birthday present:

Another Bad Creation aka ABC "Coolin' at the Playground Ya Know!". Got it for my 4th birthday. Iesha is my jam!!

I'm guessing here, but it may have been a free disc I received at a trade show.



...James Newton Howard - James Newton Howard & Friends (1985)


James Newton Howard - Synthesizers
David Paich - Synthesizers and Grand Piano
Steve Porcaro - Synthesizers
Jeff Porcaro - Drums
Joe Porcaro - Percussion

The disc was a Sheffield Lab release done to showcase a JVC mastering system that was deemeed "*revolutionary" at the time.

*This album has a superior sound compared to the previous two releases of this album. A special new form of (re)mastering has been developed by JVC, called XRCD24. Also called "24-bit Super Analog Sound" it strives to be the best of both worlds: analog and digital. To make a complex story simple: at the center of the remastering process is a special K2 24-bit digital processor, that uses a laser clocking timing system based on rubidium instead of conventional crystal. That makes the device 10.000 times more accurate than crystal based devices. XRCD24 produces a normal 16-bit PCM format, meaning the disc is playable by any CD player without any additional equipment. JVC also manufactures the CDs themselves (manufacturing is tightly integrated in their XRCD24 mastering process), eliminating any chance of sound quality loss (quite often manufacturing companies don't produce the highest audio quality possible).
