And the first music CD you bought was by...?

Lisa Miles
On this day in 1982 Sony launched the first CD player for the consumer market. I think many of us remember a time before the CD player and some of us may even still have our vinyl collection stashed away in the attic (although I understand that Vinyl has been making a bit of a comeback recently so I'm hopeful of being able to play mine again sometime soon... smiley). 

I bought my very first CD player in 1986 after I'd left school and started work and saved enough money to buy my very own. It wasn't a Sony though. Instead I bought a Pioneer music stack system that had a tape deck, FM radio and a 6 CD multi-changer!  The ultimate in technology at the time... laugh 


So it got me thinking... Do you remember your very first CD player and what make was it? And what was the first music CD you bought too! 


My first music CD was Kick by INXS blush so I thought you may enjoy one of the tracks:

    But I remember with much more pleasure my fist "Dansette" record player, and the first single record I bought specifically for it was ABC by the Jackson Five. 




    Thanks David Parr‍ .. I now have that tune going around my head this morning... laugh


    My first record player belonged to my father before he then gave it to me. I'm not sure what make it was but it was a portable record player where you un-clipped and lifted off the cover which became the speaker. I really can't remember the first single I bought although it would have been something from the late 1970's though. I can however remember the first album I owned (not bought) and that was Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles! Again given to me by my father. I still have it up in the attic in my vinyl collection... wink
