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 part of a technics system that my parents bought me for my birthday.  First CD was Parallel Lines by Blondie.


    I've got lots of vinyl records stashed away both 45s and 78s, some of them are coloured vinyl which was popular during the Punk/New Wave years and I believe worth quite a bit of money now.  I do remember being given my parents old mono record player in the mid 70s when they upgraded to a stereo system.   I also got gifted some of their records, the best of which was a Beatles EP in a photographic cover featuring Twist and Shout and Do you want to know a Secret? amongst the tracks.
