I gotta move
The Well-Tempered Parody is the better choice.
Not sure about my first purchase. It might have been Hendrix Live at Winterland and/or Radio One.
What is the first Compact Disc you ever bought?

It was this. NBA Jam Session. Hip hop jams all about basketball. I haven't heard it in so long, though.

I went all out on the CD-audiophile trip.
This was my first cd...still in print!
Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3
Amazon product ASIN B000003CSK
Pair that Telarc bombast with a pair of Stax Lambda headphones and I was off and running.

Telarc 1812 Overture complete with digitally enhanced canons. The canons were so realistic I could swear I was smelling smoke. Turns out, I was smelling smoke - the low frequencies from the canons piped through my beastly (at the time) Phase Linear 400 power amp had burned out one of my woofers.

You didn’t buy your first CD until ‘95?

It wasn't just one.
I won a quarterly sales contest in 1988 and the prizes included $750 cash and a Sony 5-disc CD changer, the first CD player I ever had. Before that, cassettes had been good enough for me. So I went down to Vinal Edge Records (yeah, that's how they spelled it) and bought like $350 worth of new and used CDs, many of which I still have:

I had to jumpstart a CD collection from scratch, man. I wanted to get more, but figured I'd better not spend more than half the cash on music.
