I was working pipeline construction in New Mexico when I saw the first CD in any retail store. This was early 1983, early April. After its completion, I bought the Moody Blues "Days Of Future Passed." And my first CD home player that same day. At $15.98 I was only buying cd's by my favorite groups. That changed around 1990 when it became clear to me that vinyl was intentionally phased out by the major record labels.

I had quite the sweet vinyl collection - until the washing machine got stuck on 'reset' and continue filling and overflowing for 2 hours.
