Three days ago, August 17, was the 25th anniversary of the Compact Disc. Read the history of the CD here.

In a previous blog post I mentioned that my parents, when they bought me my first CD player when I was a child, also bought me two CD’s: Carman’s Radically Saved and Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. And, yes, I am still embarrassed about the Carman CD. Not so much the Beethoven.

And so I ask again, as I did in the previous blog post. On this quarter-century anniversary of the compact disc, what was the first CD you ever bought or received?
