On this day in 1982 Sony launched the first CD player for the consumer market. I think many of us remember a time before the CD player and some of us may even still have our vinyl collection stashed away in the attic (although I understand that Vinyl has been making a bit of a comeback recently so I'm hopeful of being able to play mine again sometime soon... ).
I bought my very first CD player in 1986 after I'd left school and started work and saved enough money to buy my very own. It wasn't a Sony though. Instead I bought a Pioneer music stack system that had a tape deck, FM radio and a 6 CD multi-changer! The ultimate in technology at the time...
So it got me thinking... Do you remember your very first CD player and what make was it? And what was the first music CD you bought too!
My first music CD was Kick by INXS so I thought you may enjoy one of the tracks:
