Thanks Ron. I remember distinctly the first two CD's I ever bought from Brick Lane market in East London in around 1986. I bought them even before I had a CD player ! One was a New Orleans comp. on Charlie Records and the other was Songhai with a mixture of African and Spanish players- instrumental. They still work fine despite worries that CD's would degenerate over time.
I can't remember the first one I bought but I thought they were amazing. Still a big fan if the CD and of course when one could compile your own it got even better. And yes, they're still working after 30 years! Talking of formats. I liked this design by londonlee...good blog too. http://www.londonlee.com/2015/04/tee-two.html
Ha Ha Michael. Good one. And speaking of your first CD. I bought Joni Mitchell's 'Court & Spark' album for my husband before we had a CD player as well.
Love the collage, W, and laughing over how everyone bought CD's before they even had a player...of course I would NEVER do that...(can't remember what it was).
A Wall Street Smash Michael. Those first portable players were a killer though.

ReplyDeleteI didn't like CD's, but I remember my first vinyl single from my money pocket ... that was 'This Strange Effect' from Dave Berry.
