Weird enough this. I think I bought it at Crazy Eddies, which went bankrupt a couple of years later. I think the last song was taken off due to limited space back then:

I believe it was Heyday by The Church, an album I still like quite a bit.

When the family first got a CD player this was the first CD purchased.

This is the first CD I purchased when I got my own player in the summer of 1989.

Sadly, it was Def Leppard's "Hysteria." Ugh!

Grafitti Bridge. I had the cassette when it came out but it was my first CD when I finally got a CD player.

Motown 9000 and Batman

DAS HOT I do recall the days of very terrible compilation cover art, especially from Motown.

Those covers were awful, but we loved the crystal clear, poorly-mastered sound!

The Symbol album by Prince & the NPG was the first one I bought myself. I had gotten a few CDs before that as a gift (Madonna's "Bedtime Stories" might have been the first one I've "owned").

It was this:

But these are the first ones that I bought (at the same time) that was a new release. I still have all 3 of them.

Copped this Christmas of 1989, when I got my very first CD walkman. You couldn't tell me NOTHING! (LOL) And I still have my original copy to this very day!

First album (it was actually a cassette):

Ive been thinking about this question for days but I'm still not sure about it. I kinda narrowed it down to either Controversy, Purple Rain, Night Time(Killing Joke) or Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions. Im kinda thinking it was Night Time then Controversy then It Takes a Nation then PR, in quick succession.

Either way i didn't start buying CD's until the early 1990's. I refused(still do)to pay 20 bucks for a Compact Disc so for the longest time i only brought cassettes and records. Even now i rarely buy new CD's. If i know a band or singer hasn't made a lot of money then ill buy their stuff new but for more established bands i usually buy their stuff used or just buy individual mp3's.

I don't remember 1st cd I bought but vividly remember dancing to OTW/Thriller records at local community center as a kid.

On Compact Disc though? [Edited 5/24/13 22:42pm]

yes..

You know, I got my cd out to look at the date... it says 1982...I still have it I remember buying it right when cd's were strting to become popular and i had it for years before I even had a cd player.. But im not sure what year. I wanna say around 86-87?? because in 88 we moved to germany and I think I had it then...

New?

The Hits/The B-Sides.

I hadn't actually bought a CD player yet, but I knew I would eventually, and I couldn't bring myself to buy that on cassette, which is how I'd been buying most new stuff for years (I had a cassette player. My only turntable stayed at home when I went to college and moved into a dorm. I'd buy used vinyl and tape it on someone else's equipment).

I had also picked up a used Purple Rain for a couple of bucks and a copy of The Rutles' album. But The Hits/The B-Sides was the first new thing I bought.

Oh, good God. Seriously??!!

That was, I believe, my first cassette--also in 7th grade, but in 1983.

Shoot... I could picture the cover, but I couldn't remember what it was. After some thought and some internet poking I figured it out. I bought it with a Warehouse gift certificate that came with my first cd player, both of which were gifted to me on my 20th birthday in 1992 (I think - could have been my 21st).


Merl Saunders - Blues From The Rainforest

My first CD was in the summer of 1986... Olivia Newton-John's Soul Kiss.

I believe it was MJ's Bad album. It was the cheapest of all the new releases.

Got my first CD player in 1992 and the department store only had about 20 CDs, so this is what I got:
