Prince's Graffiti bridge was the first CD I bought.This was in 1990.It took me a long time to finally let go of vinyl but oddly enough,in recent years,I've gone back to vinyl.

I bought these 3 about the same time. I still mostly bought records and occasionally cassettes.

I have an awful memory, I don't even know.

30 Say what?

Not the first in my household, but my very first one was TLC's CrazySexyCool....before that I did have my first LP's, which were Madonna's Like a Virgin and the Locomotion 45 back in the 80's.

The first cd i bought was 1991. Karyn White's Ritual of Love not long

after i purchased my first cd player. I was still stubborn about buying

cd's at that time. I refused to get MJ's Dangerous on cd. I bought

the vinyl mainly because cd's were overpriced and still packaged funky

at that time in those long tall plastic planks and vinyl was still cheap at

7.99-8.99

i forgot all about those silly plastic things on them at the stores, but they were there till the late 90's too sometimes

and ritual of love is a great album

Back in 96/97, Savage Garden's self titled, MJ album's Bad,Thriller, Dangerous and History, can't quite remember which one i got first...

The symbol album by Prince was the first CD I got, I think in 1995. I had been listening to tapes and LPs before that. I suppose everyone else I knew had already abandoned them, but my mother was sick / out of work for years and we couldn't afford a CD-player sooner.

My first CD was "Lovesexy" in 1988.

So figure out, my first CD was untracked.

The first cd's I ever owned were Michael jackson's Bad and Janet Jackson's Dream Street...I got them for xmas along with my first cd player back in '87

I got my first CD player back in 1985, when I was 12. My first CD was Olivia Newton-John - Soul Kiss.

yeah I was still listening to cassettes and LP's and 45's till 1995 when I got my first personal CD player, followed by a discman the year after, those were so expensive and such a big deal then.

Love Sexy.

This first CD in my household:

This first one of my very own:

I picked up these two at the same time in October, 1992. I didn't actually get a cd player until Christmas, 1992.

I cought a cd player in the mall, and the music shop in the mall had an absolutely awful selection. But I needed something...

The first two that I bought that I actually wanted were:

I think this was the first cd I ever saw at a friend's house, though.

The first CD I ever owned was a gift:

Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 - Compact Command Performances

But the first CD I ever bought was Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814.

My dad had the only CD player in the house at the time so to hear them I had to play them on his player downstairs. I had a turntable in my room to play records.

That was the first CD I bought, too.

I'm guessing you didn't buy it in 1989 like I did.

This album was given away with cd players when they first appeared in the UK, and I think was one of the very first music albums to be released on the cd format. No wonder it had the title of best selling cd for what seemed like an age. I think it was the first cd to reach a million sales or something.
