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:

    I forgot to add: "your first CD player" - that's easy, it's the same one I still have, Cambridge Audio CD4 SE. 20 years old now and still gorgeous - even if the backlight in the display hasn't worked for the last 10 years! *


    Kudos to the guy in Richer Sounds who took one look at me when I went in and said "you'll like this one"...after listening to every player they had I totally agreed with him!

    (* yes, I know I could try repairing it, but I'm scared of something more serious breaking if I try...)  


    Cheers, Andy
