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:

    My first CD player was a massive Technics separates system with JBL speakers that my dad handed down to me in the mid 90s. I remember the MASH system being all the rage, despite being too young to care at the time.  


    I think I mostly borrowed his Metallica and Led Zeppelin CDs, but the first one I remember buying for myself was "What's the Story..." by Oasis. All of this is still in regular rotation!


    These days I have a Denon mini system that's rarely used, a new pair of JBLs, an Ariston Q deck that's older than me (and still brilliant) and a Garrard 301 that needs restoring. 


    **Edit: Technics not Pioneer... doh!
