I still have it, Wynton Marsalis, "Standard Time Vol. 3", I bought it from the store I worked at, it had been dropped from the rotation to play in the store and I picked it up for $2. Sadly, being 20 at the time, 1991, I didn't even have a cd player, but I figured for $2 I just couldn't pass it up. I didn't even know I would like jazz at the time, but now I very much do.
Do you remember your first cd?
There was a thread concerning Bose 901s the other night and it started me thinking about how early cds sounded on those speakers. The first cd I purchased was Scarecrow by John Mellancamp way back in 86 I think. That cd sounded ok back then but if I were to put it on now the sound would drive me out of the room. I haven't been able to listen to it since the 901s left. Another early cd is U2s The Joshua Tree which also sounds horrible now.
Just wondering now how many can recall their first cd purchase and whether they are listenable still?
