...buying Please Please Me in 1965. We had just come back from Germany after a 2.5 year stay & I was ready to get my own copy at the ripe ole age of 10. I was living in a little town in Southern Illinois that had a population of ~15k, but don't remember the price or the store. When I first heard a CD player I decided against them because even though they were very clean sounding, they were lacking in musicality & had a 2 dimensional sound. When I heard that George Martin was going to sit in on the CD process I decided to buy a CD player & started buying the Beatles CD's before I bought the player.
I don't remember much, but I remember......
Not sure about you guys but it seems to me that things are getting a little tense here again and we need to have a little bit of fun! I was enjoying an evening of listening to my rig and then I saw it...my first CD(sorry guys too young for LP's!). I remember everything about the day I got it, the weather, the time, where it was purchase, even the price! The CD was U2's "Achtung Baby" I put the CD in(I have not listened to it in years)and was brought back to a time not too long ago when things seemed.....well, simpler. Then I got to think what a profound impact that one event had on my life, the joy of music. Does anyone else remember there first CD or LP? did it have as much of an impact on you as mine had on me?
