Disco Inferno.- D.I. goes pop. I heard about them in a very unusal radio show. Next day, my father gave me my first CD player and a bit of money and said: "go and buy somthing to use this". Given that it was a lot of money, I asumed that he didn't meant "go and buy batteries". So I went to a weird (and now pretty much extint) record store and the rest is already told...

I wasn't alive when CD's first came out.

Now, I'm doing the reverse!  I'm switching to vinyl for improved sound quality.

Did you know that there's a turn table out that records vinyl records digitally.  I'm not quite sure how it works, I don't have one yet.

I am ashamed to say that my first CD was some offspring album.

My first vinyl was Crime Of The Century in 74 (I was 11)
 
 
but I can't remember what my first Cd was. I was a late convert to CD. I started testing and renting CD in 92, and it was at least another year before I started buying them.
 
I'd say RHCP's Sex Blood Sugar Magic or Noir Desir's Tostaky or French Funk Federation (known as FFF) 's Free For Fever.

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Mine is either Eddie Jobson's Theme Of Secrets, or Tony Banks' The Fugitive. It was back in 1986, I know that much, but for the rest: I don't remember which one was first.
 
I remember being v-e-r-y c-a-r-e-f-u-l with the cd's, because I didn't want to make a scratch on them. I'm not so careful now anymore  Smile

Yeah, I know what you mean.
 I remember all the hype about c.d's, when they first came out. "you can use them as coasters, frisbees etc". They were supposed to be indestructable, NOT!
 After dropping a disc and having it bounce off a speaker, the scratch it caused made it unplayable. Once more it was "The White Album", a double disc.Angry$$$
Since then it's been softly, softly, all the way.

I was a latecomer to the CD age, not finally getting my hands on a player until around 1990. The first CD's I bought, both at the same time, were Pink Floyd's WYWH and Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood.

I'm pretty sure it was DSOTM, in 1986, or whatever year it was that CDs first came out. If it wasn't, then it was probably "So" by Peter Gabriel.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Well I was so against CDs at first. You know how it is when something ;BIG' is about to happen  and buying my whole collection on CDs was the hardest thing to do in my whole entire life. It was areal big deal But I did it.!!!Embarrassed

well  back to the subject , my very very first CD that bought I think ( Of course some PROG!!!) it was some YES or RUSH because Columbia house was the only place that offered 12 Cd's in advance and you only have to pay shipper first.
I think it some RUSH, ELP,a nd YES.Wink
