First and last CDs purchsed

axisus

First - no idea! CD's were never memorable.

I could tell you my first, second, third, forth and last Vinyl albums though.

Latest CD - Whitney Houston I look to you. Her last album and the only one I didn't have. 33p from a charity shop!

Jaycee

My first was a Glen Miller compilation early 80's ( had to get a friend to record it onto a cassette as I didn't have a cd player then) and the last one was  Letter to you Bruce Springsteen

thecolourbox

My first CD was a single, Gary Barlow's Forever Love.

My most recent physical CD purchased was Jack White's Boarding House Reach.

21 years apart...

Hoof

First: Jimi Hendrix, Ultimate Experience
Last: Every Time I Die, Radical.

Still my preferred format for home listening.

Streaming is OK for in the car but I've never found a platform I like and resent the fact that so little of what I pay actually reaches the musicians I listen to. For background music I'll put the radio on.

Danielsguitars

I actually can't remember the first cd I bought, might have been a Gerald albright one, I was into saxophone

Last cd  I bought was Dirtysnakemouth catharsis, good music for the drive into work

MPH

The first CDs I bought were singles. All about the same time in '93.

'Creep' by Radiohead
'Distant Sun' by Crowded House
'All I Gave' by World Party
'On The Ropes' by The Wonderstuff

First albums I bought were both Crowded House - 'Woodface' & 'Together Alone'.

Last CD......not sure.

Like the saying goes, you always remember your first.

drofluf

My first was Damn the Torpedoes, it predated the purchase of my first CD player by a good few months. The last/most recent was probably by someone on another forum I frequent. 

Reverend

First? Silver Bullet  - Undercover Anarchist
Last? Just got given a demo by Vucan. Roth/swedish school styled early 80s power metal. 

mrkb

First was U2 Joshua tree in 1987 in Barrow in furness
Last was Shake your moneymaker 30th anniversary reissue last year from Amazon.
Next will be Temperance Movement acoustic and rarity one when I get my arse in gear.

viz

First: Passion and Warfare
Last: I bought a Sibelius Symphonies boxset today

Springywheel

First - Master of Puppets around 2002...actually I bought it off someone at school who used to rip CDs from limewire for £1.

Last purchase was a few years back - Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works 85-92. 

pintspiller

First - Pod by The Breeders (1990)

Last - I think a Lonnie Donegan best-of for the car when I bought it (three years ago).

boogieman

First. No idea. Probably a Hendrix one to replace a knackered vinyl copy. 

Last. Tool 10,000 Days. Although I didn’t actually buy it as it was a Xmas present from my son, who I’ve obviously raised with excellent musical taste. 

I still buy CDs regularly but they’re mainly from charity shops. 

EricTheWeary

Last was probably a supermarket Motorhead compilation. I'll often pick something up if I've got a long drive coming up. 

I can't remember the first. I had a lot of Chess compilation ones - best of Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf,etc - so may have been one of those.

Last was in 2010 I went to a launch gig for The Magic Numbers third album and bought a signed copy of the CD to listen to on the way home.

The next day I wanted to listen to it again but realized it was easier to just put it on Spotify than go and get the CD from the car. At that point I decided not to bother with buying CDs again.

Excluding kids stuff when I was maybe 6 or 7, the first I bought with my own money was either Definitely Maybe or Feeling Strangely Fine by Semisonic. I'm happy with both of those.

I'm not 100% sure of the last, but the last I can remember was Of Monsters and Men's second album, and Asgeir's first two, all bought together in Reykjavik.

I've got loads of CDs which are still sealed because I've only ever listened to them on Spotify.  I still buy them, if I like them enough, to (a) give the band more money and (b) for collection purposes if it's a band I've liked a long time.

First was Diamonds & Pearls by Prince in 1991. And the last was Paul Weller at the Royal Albert Hall, a recommendation by someone here as I recall as it was very cheap!

MagicPigDetective

First: Orbital 2, the brown album, xmas 93. Sounded amazing with the new hifi system.

Last: I only buy the occasional cd these days, last one was Dinosaur Jr’s new album last year.

In theory that works but unless you buy it from a merch stand you are paying a tenner of which the artist will probably see 50p if they are lucky.

Better of with Patreon.
