I always just used someone else's until I got married and then got to use my wife's as my own. ;)<BR/><BR/>We mostly only use it at the holidays for some Vince Guaraldi or Bing Crosby.<BR/><BR/>Boy, first CD?... Have to jog my memory there. It was probably either REM - Green or INXS - X (maybe even Live Baby Live). Can't recall.<BR/><BR/>I came by all my cassettes thanks to Columbia. I think they're collecting dust at the back of a closet somewhere.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242783273849238577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460939.post-20624582722404882362007-08-27T00:21:00.000-05:002007-08-27T00:21:00.000-05:00I *think* it was Jane' Addiction Nothing Shocking....I *think* it was Jane' Addiction <I>Nothing Shocking</I>.

What a contrast there. One group going harder and less commercial and the other one going softer and hitting it big. <BR/><BR/>Close behind was SRV's Texas Flood and a Hendrix compilation. After years of hearing these with a quarter on the stylus it was nice to no longer hear the warping thanks to ordering from Columbia House in the summer months.<BR/><BR/>But you'll be glad to know I only own 1 REO CD - a greatest hits compilation. I'll share if you like... ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797316835929107170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460939.post-50269215723867509502007-08-25T09:30:00.000-05:002007-08-25T09:30:00.000-05:001987 I believe was my first CD Player--a Pioneer ...1987 I believe was my first CD Player--a Pioneer single disc unit (I sold stereos so the equipment was very important too) It had the best D/A converter amongst the mass produced CD players of the time. <BR/><BR/>I'm trying to remember the first discs I bought--<BR/><BR/>Nebraska--Springsteen<BR/>Generation X-Kiss Me Deadly<BR/>John Mellencamp--Lonesome Jubilee<BR/>And something I cannot remmber<BR/><BR/>Soon to be followed by XTC, REM, the Cure, and 10,000 Maniacs.ArchPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610080819640611089noreply@blogger.com
