Yes
Me: Genesis - Genesis.

Still like it now so a pretty good choice I reckon.

How many Brothers In Arms answers will we get?
 
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon and This Mortal Coil - Blood. Bought them both at the same time from HMV :)
 
Gary Moore ballads and blues (compilation) - but i came to CDs relatively late as nearly all my music listening is in the car, and every car ive owned except my current one had a tape deck instead of a cd player
 
As previously mentioned.....
Peter Gabriel....SO

I was a vinyl devotee and late to the CD party :lol:
 
My first CD was a sampler free from Tomorrow's World, possibly Mozart. I didn't have a CD player at the time!

That was a long time ago. That was before I discovered Punk.
 
First CD was indeed "Brothers In Arms". First album was "Bob Dylan", when school broke up for the summer in 1962 ...
 
Dire straits....


Love over Gold :)

Wish you were here would have been first but it took me a while to find it :)
 
I had my first player and 2 cds for christmas 93. One was NOW compilation which i played bjork play dead as my first song. The other was Nirvana Nevermind.
 
I think it was Kerbdog's first album "On the Turn". I can remember vividly buying my first cd player with my brother as he had just got a job and was loaded, so he spent his first £30 wage packet on a portable cd player!
The first CD he bought I believe was Silverchair's "Freakshow"

I remember my first cassette tape I actually bought myself was Entombed's "DCLXVI: To Ride Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth". I played the absolute crap out of that thing. I blew the speakers up on my parents cassette player the very first time I played it too. That wasnt much before we bought the cd player, so I bought the cd not long after too but the tape got played in the parents car and in my walkman daily.
 
I used to have a Saturday job selling HiFI separates back in 1985, and the number of Brothers in Arms CDs we used to sell just because they were one of the first 'DDD', fully digital recordings was unbelievable. New HiFi = CD sale.

For me, I had a free copy to demo, so probably my first CD I bought was Paul Simon's Graceland.
 
Cutting Crew/Broadcast was my fist purchase same day I bought my first CD player, think it was a Sharp
 
Normaal - Oerend Hard
 
Can't really remember. I do recall buying the CD player, locking it in the boot of the car and going back into the mall to get a couple of CDs. It may have been Bridge Over Troubled Water and a Jethro Tull or Steeleye Span disc.

We gave my son and his wife our hifi system and all the discs a few years ago, when we realised that both of us had completely lost interest in music. It's never come back.

I worked for laskys in the early 80's.
Paid £399 I think for my first CD player in 1985, (Original marantz CD63 in black)but could only afford 1 CD, which was Queens the works. Was the only CD I had for months.
 
Cleaning disk for PC D drive.
 
1985 i think was the year i first bought cd's, i remember buying a few at once with my first cd player from laskys
amongst them i seem to recall was rush moving pictures and the quarterflash album i'm not sure what else

i think the cd player i bought was the mission DAD 7000 basically a revamped philips cd 104, along with some Acoustic research AR 9LS speakers

Also Laskys too! They were onto a sweet deal as I probable spent most of my wages in shop. First CD player was a Marantz too - can't recall the model though.

Me.......:)
 
Can't remember what the first album was that I bought on CD but I started buying CD singles about a year or so before I bought a CD player. Can't remember if the 1st CD single I bought was Rush's Prime Mover or Bruce Hornsby and the Range's The Way it Is.
 
Can't be 100% sure, but I slowly replaced the vinyl with CD's after I bought my first player, I suspect that it was tubular bells as that was the one used to demo the system at the time.

That was the only album I actually binned, gave a few away other crappers away such as Wings At The Speed Of Sound (only bought it because a girl I was keen on liked it)

Curious, I've never spoken to anyone ( in passing) that didn't like it.
Tis a good job we aren't all the same though eh? (y)

I never replaced my Vinyl collection, I still have it all in a converted wardrobe. Haven't played any of it in around 20 yrs though.

I slowly binned all mine over the years, some nostalgia I can live without.
(Besides its a thing of the past anyway :D )
 
Another one for Brothers in Arms. Vinyl collection now in loft. Slightly off topic but anybody got any idea about a good player that will convert vinyl to MP3?

My good old mum sold mine at a car boot sale while I was off at uni! Bit unexpected!
