What is the first Compact Disc you ever bought?

[Lerxst]

When I went to the record shop to buy a CD for my brand new CD player, they only had like 10 CDs to choose from.

Funny I can remember the first LP I bought, but have no idea when it comes to CDs. I was raising 3 little girls at the time. It may have been Nevermind.

Went to the Harvard Coop with money from Christmas and my job, and got these:

Probably this one. A reference tape cd sampler that I listen to when buying my first stereo system. It was recorded well and had all sorts of soundstage and imaging built in.

INXS Kick

Depeche Mode 101

 

[OGG]

A Flock of Seagulls - Self Titled.

It would be another two full years before I could afford a CD Player.

[Modern Saint]

A Motown compilation. Don't remember the name.

Funny story: my SECOND CD that I bought was a Carpenters album for the wife (CD selection was very limited in 1984). I was playing it for a friend and he quipped: "Wow, what detail! You can hear Karen's stomach growl."

Yes, I laughed. Yes, I know I'm going to hell.

I think the Karen Carpenter thing isn't funny, in no small part because of the context around eating disorders. They are rooted in really, really negative cultural images and stereotyping.

 

[shoeless]

I honestly don't remember, but I think it might have been a collection of classical music. Seriously...
