First cds?
Must have been Queen's greatest hits part two as well as a comedy album done by a famous Danish "group" called Monrad & Rislund. Then came Michael Jackson's Bad Kinda funny reading this thread as most started out with LPs and then moved onto cds. I am the other way around - collected thousands of cds and then suddenly decided to go the vinyl route Nowadays I buy both but prefer vinyl. There's a reverence about the medium that escapes the aforementioned plastic disc, I find. |

Sky - The Great Balloon Race
Not one of their good albums by any stretch of the imagination though. Awful really. But apparently not easy to find on CD these days apparently. Until all those Sky albums were re-issued recently by Esoteric of course. I still remember going into a record shop called Seeing Ears in Adelaide's main shopping strip very early in the time of CD and seeing an imported CD copy of the Snow Goose (Camel) on a shelf behind the counter for a very high price. At that time I was still thinking these CD things were just going to be a passing gimmick, no way I was going to pay big $ for that... But it was rare enough to see Prog albums in local shops at the best of times and seeing one on CD seemed an impossible rarity.

Peter Gabriel 4, bought it already in march 1983 (!) when there were only about 20 titles in total on the market - still own it. It's the original Charisma CD, now worth a small fortune.

Dixie Dregs' What If and a couple Steely Dan CDs. After that, it was off to the races as LPs were things of the past for me.

My first CD was Allan Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue. That was it for awhile, as I didn't jump in more than ankle deep at first. I couldn't hazard a guess as to what my second CD was.

Waxie Maxie's..... oh man... loved taking my hard earned jack there and buying all the CD's I could. Almost as much I loved the Octopus Garden... where you could get stoned on 2nd hand smoke and hang out with the old (to me) hippies and talk music and find the really good odd stuff. First CD bought? really not sure.. likely it was a Janis Joplin CD as I not only had a major musical crush on her at that time.. but also the secondary mission to piss my mother off as she HATED.. LOATHED.. Janis. |

Eponymous by R.E.M. was probably the first CD I bought that I still have and like. This was in the 21st century because I'm both young and old-fashioned.

The first CD I ever bought was Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother, maybe in 1989 or 1990... In Chile CDs were expensive and hard to get at that time.
I'll I never forget the pleasure of listening to it, switch from song to song, repeat them over and over again... I still own it.

The first CD albums I bought was with my first payday from my job.
It was July 29th 1988. I can't actually remember which shop I bought them in, but it was in Chelmsford. I bought ; Magnum - Anthology All About Eve I no longer have either CD, although I have since bought the remastered edition of the All About Eve album. |

My first CD was a 3 inch CD by Heaven 17 Temptation.
I bought quite a few 3 inch CDs back then (1988) I have since sold them all as my current CD player (a Brennan JB7) cannot play them, apart from that one which I have kept for sentimental reasons. All the extended remixes from that 3 inch CD are on the remastered edition of the parent album The Luxury Gap. I know its not prog but it is the truth and I do like that album. |

If I remember correctly, a Mozart compilation, a Phil Collins live album, Billy Joel's An Innocent Man, and a Wishbone Ash compilation.

Lots of Peter Gabriel and Van Halen here! interesting. I forgot about Dark Side of the Moon. That was a very early one for me, too.
I never could tell the difference between AAD, ADD, and DDD--and I thought I had a discerning ear, but that analog vs. digital argument never affected me. Even the mp3 vs. wav vs. Flac differences are lost on me. Again, I find this weird cuz I think I am very attentive to sound engineering cues. Guess not! Recorded/reproduced music is still music!

I don't remember this last stuff, Dean! I guess I was too busy playing with my G & L guitar, Magnepan ribbon speakers and Carver amp & pre-amp! |

My first CD was Peter Gabriel IV ( Security ) bought in 1983. I had been waiting for the technology to be available to the public since first reading about it in 1979. The biggest obstacle the producers faced was manufacturing the discs, which required a level of precision not commonly available at the time. I still have this CD, and even at 33 years of age it looks and plays like new. I never regretted the phase out of vinyl, and was eager to replace my LP collection. ( Though I still have most of it )

I bought my first CD player in 1990. My first CD was Quatermass's debut. And my second CD-and first classical music one-was Elgar Symphony 1 conducted by Sir John Barbirolli and the Halle Orchestra, paired up with the Elgar Introduction and Allegro for strings, the same.
