The First CD You Ever Purchased

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

Now that CDs are obsolete, some of us can actually remember when they first came out. What was the first CD you ever purchased? For me it was ...

Probably Froggy Fresh

Depeche Mode probably.

CD's came out in 82 but probably didn't start surpassing cassettes until late 80's. I was 4 so I definitely wasn't buying CD's then. I definitely remember still buying cassettes in middle school.

Bought an Onkyo 5 CD changer, receiver, turntable with speakers and a Cerwin-Vega sub woofer at Circuit City. Went to Tower records and bought (album names) Pump, Van Halen, Grand Illusion, Boston and Genesis. This was...I guess it was after 89 lol.

feels like that album just came out but I didn't look it up

Pretty safe bet that this was the first rap album the majority of kids purchased in the early to mid 90s.

I think Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique was the 2nd CD I ever bought.

 

[VolFaninFla]

Purple Rain-Prince

I can no longer remember, might have been this. Could have been a Billy Idol CD or Fleetwood Mac Rumors. Led Zepplin II was another early one. I started buying a lot of the classic rock albums on CD and a lot of Classical music CDs right after getting my first CD player for Christmas in '85.
