It was thirty years ago today...

Well, actually, thirty years and two days ago, the first commercial CD was released via.

Which got me thinking. I bought my first CD player, and my first 2 CDs, on holiday in France (I'd been saving up for ages to buy one but the holiday cottage Dad'd rented was so horribly remote we were dying of boredom in the evenings). They were:
The Beatles

I think my first CD was The Spin Doctors, Doctors of Spin. Which I bought in first year think, so 1993. I'd have been 18.

Why did I buy the album? They had a bit of summer hit that year and I liked the sound of the follow up single too.

Why a CD? I’d just got a CD player as part of my setting up at Uni arrangements and there didn’t seem any point in not having music on a CD.

Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes.

I was a late adopter of CD music technology.
