Considering I already had a couple of thousand LPs and a couple hundred cassettes, the addition to CDs took a while to take hold, but now ... In terms of my first CDs, though, I held off for as long as possible until I couldn't get any new music on LP. Then I took the plunge. But my first CD -- Pino Minafra's Sudori (Victo) was bought before I even had a CD player.[!] Ken Waxman --- Efrén del Valle <efrendv@yahoo.es> wrote: > Hi,
You do have large collections guys! But considering that I'm 26 and that I only left the university a year ago more or less (i.e, I was pennyless), I'm quite happy with my almost 1,000. The important thing for me is to have time to listen to everything.
Bearing in mind that my first CD was bought in the fall of 1993, it brings us to roughly one CD every 2.3 days. Horrible, isn't it?
Indeed, it is! I'm averaging 5-7 cds per week when translations are coming in with enough frequency. Plus dvds, plus books, ... quite sick, as most of you I'm sure! But the feeling of going shopping or opening your P.O Box and seeing those nice packages inside is uncomparable!
I would like to add some more fun to this little quiz. What was the first CD you get? Mine was the counterfeit copy of the Black Rider by Tom Waits.
Certainly a good choice, imho! I think mine was the Pixies' "Trompe le Monde". But my fondest memory was the first cassette my parents gave me when I was really, really young: Morricone's "For a Fistful of Dollars". I still keep that yellowish cassette at my parent's house. They had a good taste and my father loves spaghettis, fortunately.
Best,
