First cd purchase


I was just wondering what our fellow audiogoners first cd purchase was and when. I believe mine was sometime in the late 80s and it was an opera RCA box set of Otello with Vickers,Rysanek,and Gobbi. And now its your time to tell us, what was your first cd purchase.

sorry to change the subject, but how many 'goners got "the" sony- you know, the little one with the pop-up lid and the wall-wart, with the crystal-LED display, which was to my knowledge, the 1st unit available? i felt a little light-headed as i set mine up, wondering just how much more detail i was going to hear without all of the background noise from vinyl records. and i had to admit it sounded okay most of the time; but THEN unit started skipping here and there- more than i thought was acceptable, too. so making tapes for the car started to get to be a real pain. and my friend's yamaha wouldn't read the cd for the 1st 4 or 5 tries. CRAP!! we all yelled with glee... ha ha ha!!...
now of course i have a transport that costs $6000, and it sounds great (when it doesn't skip)...
