Random memory... When I was a kid in the late 80s, the first time I saw a CD player was also the first time I heard U2...

So I had never heard decent quality recorded music before, and the first time I did it was The Joshua Tree. This was completely 🤯🤯🤯 to little randomdross. youtube.com/watch?v=ujNeHIo7…

Also heard Graceland (Paul Simon) on CD at that time which was pretty cool. youtube.com/watch?v=uq-gYOrU…

I don't think I saw a CD again for years after that. It was like a sudden, temporary portal opened up into the future world.

I worked at my university’s bookstore selling Mac SEs and we had one playing a CD of The Best Of OMD. That entire album is ingrained in my brain.
