What was the FIRST ever *CD* you acquired?

[Herr Tubthumper]

Er hum. The first CD I purchsed was a double live Marillion affair; The Thieving Magpie I think it's called.

I think CDs came out in the late 80's, as Dire Straight's 'Brothers in Arms' on CD was reputed to be owned by 1/3 of all CD player owners at the time...

So what was your first CD?

October 82 according to the least reliable encyclopedia in the world. There were only a few hundred CDs if even available when they came out hence certain big/popular albums being owned by huge volumes of people! My father bought a CD player for utterly insane money in 1983 and there's a few extremely early CDs around the house cause of that.

My first CD was probably something like a Zig and Zag comedy CD when I was 4 or something; it was definitely nothing cool unfortunately...

Ive just had a nose at mine....subtitled La Gazza Ladra. Presume this is latin. It comes with an awful poster as well. I also recall buying Bon Jovi's New Jersey album around the same time..and Bruce's Tunnel of Love. As you can tell I had a good ear for music back in the day

La Gazza Ladra was an opera by Rossini which in English is "The Thieving Magpie" the music at the start of disc 1 before the Slàinte Mhath song starts is from that opera and was used at the start of the Clutching at Straws Tour (as well as in The Clockwork Orange)

*marillionnerdalert*


Pet Shop Boys was my first CD, their first album.

 

[Gwylan]

La Gazza Ladra was an opera by Rossini which in English is "The Thieving Magpie" ...

...and is Italian not Latin


Made famous by Justice Harman in a case involving Paul Gascoigne when he "Inadvertently" mixed up Gazza and La Gazza Ladra (I put that in inverted commas because when I chatted to a judge about this a few months later, he said that Harman knew full well who Gascoigne was but wanted to play up to the gallery).
