Some Xmas fun, what was the first CD you bought ?

[Red devil 44]

Mine was Peter Gabriel’s Greatest Hits 

[Stickers]

signed up for the cd club that was on the back of magazines like TV Week and got the three-for deal; the second crowded house album, heavy nova by robert palmer and strong persuader by robert cray. none of which i still have.

[Hairy]

I had records and cassettes when younger but my first CD was Soul Deep by Jimmy Barnes.

[Instigator]

I don't remember my first CD for sure but it was probably AC/DC Dirty Deeds. I'm pretty sure my first LP was something from KISS. Probably Hotter Than Hell, but might have been Dressed To Kill. My older brother had all the AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Dead Kennedys, Talking Heads etc albums, so I didn't need to buy them myself.

[Red devil 44]

I think my first record was Breakfast in America by Supertramp 

First tape was Heartbeat City by The Cars 

[Stickers]

when i was a kid, midnight oil's 10->1 had been in the charts for 52 weeks, so young me assumed this must mean it was really good and bought it with my birthday money. young me was right.

Great Album 10-1

[Lab Cat]

Too long ago to remember, but Peter Gabriel's So was probably a contender. I remember my first LP. Hawkind Roadhawks, followed by the entire AC/DC Bon Scott catalogue.

[Malter White]

First album 1977

[Malter White]

First single 1978

[Malter White]

First CD 1990

[Malter White]

@Stickers I joined one of those CD clubs too. It was a great way to build a music library at a lower price.

[Fergy1987]

Mariah Carey - Daydream .....go ahead, judge me all you want. We all know she is a goddess! 

[Dozer71]

First CD was Baby Animals (self titled)

First album/cassette was 1981 With a Bullet (the 1981 equivalent to the ripper 77 above).

[Shamus O'Sean]

First CD was Appetite for Destruction by Guns n Roses.

First LP (where's the emoji for "in a muffled voice with hand over mouth") Arrival by Abba

[Malter White]

When I was about 10 years old I ventured into John Martin's, a major department store in Adelaide. They were running school holiday promotions and I won a choice between an ABBA t-shirt or an Elton John t-shirt. I chose the Elton t-shirt because I thought it would be a bit sissy to wear an ABBA one.

Re ABBA, Was that the fold out album cover with the helicopter picture?

My sister had that one.

[Malter White]

@Hairy I didn't have the album but I do remember the cover had a helicopter on it.

[Naughty Corner Brewing]

I bought my first album in about 1974 (I was 5 or 6) which was one of the compilation ones that had Suzi Quattro on it, probably Devil Gate Drive. Remember doing heaps of jobs to save up for that.

First CD was probably Meat Loaf Bat out of Hell. 

[Marvin]

My first simultaneous purchases were vinyl, Rolling Stones Some Girls and Joe Walsh But Seriously Folks.
I don't listen to Joe much these days.  I'd probably rate Some Girls the last great Stones album. 
I bought quite a lot of records but would tape someone else's where I could.

[ben 10]

I don't recall the cd but I will admit to the shame of buying Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles on 12" when it came out.

[xjjohnn0]

First cd was one of those 12" black ones that don't fit my cd player.

It was either Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies or Small Faces Ogden's Nutgone Tobacco.
