    I don't remember, something from either Metallica or Slayer.

    First LP was Powerslave from Iron Maiden.

    My first CD was the Beatles Rubber Soul.

    The first music I ever bought was probably on cassette; no idea what that was though.

    Led Zep- Houses of the Holy in the cardboard long box. $17.99 and I didn't even have a cdp then. My idea was to buy one or two per pay period so when I finally got a cdp I'd have something to play in it.

    The first cdp I owned was a Pioneer PD-???? and it cost me $399 back in 1985-6.

    I remember buying that when it first came out. Still have it as it's been long out of print and is a collectible now.

    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them.

    Bought that one pretty early on in my CD collecting days as well. Still have it and Radio One from Rykodisc. My first disc, even before the CD player, was The Kid's Are Alright by The Who.

    Yep, I have the Jimi Hendrix-Radio One Rykodisc as well. Bought it new when it came out at the time.

    By the Swedish cats Hansen and Karlson? Sunshine of Your Love with Jack Cassidy on bass was good as well.

    Radio One had one of the best guitar songs ever, IMO- Driving South.
