I have 1000's of cds and couldn't honestly say which is the oldest. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/huh.gif

 

 

But it would be lower 80's I think. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif

You want me to play what?

I have a 7inch single of "Instructions for setting up your Decca Stereogram", but as far as CD's go...Dire Straights: Brothers in Arms CD from about 1985.

 

Ah, back in the days where you could assess the quality of the CD contents by looking at the combination of 3 A's or D's on the cover of the CD.

 

The A's were Analogue, the D's were digital, so a CD with "DDD" on the cover meant that it was recorded digitally, mastered digitally, and output digitally. The 3rd "D" obviously had to be digital, as it was a CD you were looking at.

 

The poorest quality, (but still pretty good) was "AAD", and DDD seemingly (I never looked into it properly) could only apply to totally digital music such as Jean Michell Jarre. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/wacko.gif

Well, if we're looking at that I have a 78 of Bill Haley Rock Around The Clock. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif

I've got one of his CD's. Good stuff!

 

That may be the oldest I have actually. Something from the mid 80's anyway. I'd have to look.

I remeber going into the record shop in Romford and taking in some of my old albums to part ex-change so I could afford the album/cd back in 1986.

First CD I bought was Lynyrd Skynyrd, can't remember the title & as I've got several by them looking for it is a bit pointless

Police - Message in a Bottle was the first record I ever asked someone to buy for me.

Madness - Night Boat to Cairo was the first record I actually bought myself.

Showaddywaddy - Crepes and Drapes was the first album I asked for.

Jasper Carrot was the first album I actually bought.

 

As for CD's...the wife purchased my first ever CD player for me and she got me three CD's with it - two went straight back to the shop but I still have The Cure, so that must have been my first one!

We're ignoring 7" vinyl here then. http://www.dj-forum.co.uk/html//emoticons/sad.gif

 

My first CD was Michael Jackson's Thriller, which I bought in advance of a CD player to play it with.
