What was Your First CD?
- No related posts
For those of us who used to own vinyl, buying our first CD was a huge deal. I’d be willing to wager that we also remember what our first CD was, and even when we bought it. The first one I ever bought was The Traveling Willburys. For Kat, it was Ride the Lightning, by Metallica. I had to ask others if they remembered what their first ever CD was.
Sgt. Peppers June 2, 1987 – Matthew Davidson via twhirl
I think it was a Sade album… probably in 88 or 89 – Tad – the fresh maker
Ugh, Aerosmith’s "Get a Grip" which was given to me. Next I think was Counting Crows "August and Everything After" – Haggis (Sean)
REM’s Reckoning I think. – Abby Martin
Genesis Invisible Touch – George Lee via twhirl
first cd single: bush – swallowed, first cd album: songs in the key of X, first cassette: simpons sing the blues, first (and only) vinyl: los lobos – la bamba… *shakes head* – alphaxion

my brother gave me my first portable CD player – along with it he gave me Estefan’s Into the Light and Willson Phillips CD which I can now not recall the name. I was always surprised he picked so well (for my tastes at the time) and that he wasn’t embarrassed to be seen buying them. – pea gives ♥ a bad name
What was your first CD? And, if you remember it, what about your first album on vinyl… or your first 8Track?

It was Bonnie Raitt’s “Nick of Time”. I didn’t even have a player yet but knew that I would within a year after I saved up for one. So, I had my neighbor across the hall convert it to a cassette in order that I could listen to it.

I think the first CD I ever got was a soundtrack to the movie Tarzan. Either that or a Backstreet Boys CD [not one of my prouder moments].

All I remember was a CD for the windows 3.1. I don’t know the name of it or what it was, but I bet it had data files on it.

First Vinyl: Journey, Escape 1981
First 45: Aerosmith, Walk This Way…I was 8!
First CD: Rick Springfield, Working Class Dog. I didn’t even have a player yet, but bought it so I could tape a decent copy for the car.
I never bought 8 tracks or cassettes. I always recorded my Vinyl to tape for the car.
