Does anyone remember the first CD they ever played?

Well as the title says. CAN YOU REMEMBER THE VERY FIRST CD YOU EVER PLAYED.
Mine was the Alan Parsons Project Best of. So how good is your memories my fellow Wammers?😀

 

[hylander]

Thought I’d go for something purely digital so went for this (still sounds good to me ! )

 

[MVJ]

Tanita Tikaram.....

 

[rabski]

Yup.

This...



On one of these ...

Secrets of the Beehive by David Sylvian in 1987.

No, but the first one I remember that made me realise CD could sound good in its own right was a Linn CD of The Sixteen (Harry Christophers) doing Membra Jesu Nostri by Diethrich Buxtehude. Until then, CD was something you bought only when the music wasn't available on vinyl.

EDIT tbh, it still is, but I can expect decent quality of it

I can remember I had boxes of albums & just a handful of CDs. This one was one of them.

And the player looked like this.

Happy days. The future

This

It was 'Moving Pictures' on a Philips CD104.
Lovely aesthetics, just before plastic and mass manufacture.

This was a 1993 birthday present - 'but i dont have a cd player - its about time you bought one'.

 

[EddieRUKidding]

Think it was a Marantz CD-42 Mk11 my first CD player

and the CD was a Queen 3" mini 3 track CD

Probably this as got it cheap with my CDP:



the best from a poor choice.

Cupid & Psyche - Scritti Politti. My brother bought a Technics system with a Philips CD player. He got this and Bryan Ferry - Boys and Girls. Bought from Kendals in Manchester! 1985! He'd have been 18, and working for a new store called NEXT where he walked around dressed like Crockett from Miami Vice.

Haha...that was also among my handful of first CDs with the Brian Ferry.

I think the first CD I played was Roxy Music Avalon when the shop (where I worked on Saturdays) got its first batch of CD players.

There was also an all digital Denon CD with extracts from their classical catalogue - they’d released PCM masters on LP for several years. And some sort of Philips sampler CD, the content of which escapes me now.

Dire Straits Brothers in Arms can’t have been far behind.
