I’m sure they seemed amazing for the time – you can tell which CDs are the early ones as they include instructions which tell us what these new-fangled CDs are and how to clean them! Do you remember which was your first one?

That’s great to hear, Yvonne 🙂 I guess without my CD collection I’d have 2 shelves of my bookcase free! I haven’t got any vinyl as I haven’t got a record player, you’re right the records are very expensive, hopefully that reflects the quality of the manufacture.

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the post 😀 I only had cassettes, up to about 2001, so when I got a hi-fi which could play CDs they did seem modern although they had been around for ages. They were more expensive than tapes of course. Oh yes the good thing about CD singles was the extra track or two and there’d be a couple of different versions of the single. The funny thing about digital downloads is that I occasionally buy them…. and put them on to CDs! I think regarding technology I’m just OK to keep using it until it stops working.

Thanks! It’s interesting we can be nostalgic about CDs now, I wonder where the border is for when modern things provoke nostalgia. I’m glad you still listen to them 🙂 I imagine it’s difficult to find a new car which has a CD player?

I think streaming is probably the majority now, I’m sure it is more convenient and has a lot of other advantages but I tend to stick with the same technology I grew up with.
