    Didn't get my first CD until 1994...Beatles Rubber Soul.

    Was that during the period when they released their CD albums on Apple Records? I hear those are worth money, but can't find any on Ebay to verify.

    Beatles catalog was first released on CD in 1987 and anything bought in the 90's would have been these masterings. As far as the labels that the CD's were issued under it was sort of a join deal between Capital, Parlophone (their British label in the 60's), and Apple. Used Beatles CD's aren't worth anything, unless it's some sort of rare Japanese pressing or something like that. Now 1st pressings of their 60's vinyl records, especially the UK pressings which sounded way better, are worth a shit ton. Minty 1st pressing UK Beatles LP's will fetch in the hundreds to thousands of dollars range.

    I signed up for one of those magazine cd subscriptions in elementary school - think it might have been BMG? It was a waste of money but I had a decent sized collection for 10-12 year old.

    Napster was life changing when it first came out. Took 30min to download a song on dial up and I would play it out and get sick of it before it even finished downloading.

    I grew up listening to my sister's Beatles albums and my brother's superior collection of bands like Cream

    The first album I bought was Led Zeppelin 2 because I had saved enough money to buy a stereo and we'd get high and listen to Whole Lotta Love where the bridge would go between the speakers.

    I thought that was the height of technology and we'd never see better

    I was in college when Napster hit. Only took about 3-5 minutes on school DSL to download a tune. I must have had 50 songs queued up at any given tim.

    Fuck Metallica.

    I remember reading about an enterprising basement dweller who signed up with BMG under multiple aliases (thousands of them) to get free cd's and then made about $1 million in profit reselling them. They put him in jail for his efforts.

    1990-92: my two dads were middle class liberal lumberjacks who would smash your face in
    I got Pearl Jam Ten with a Sony Discman for Christmas in 1991.

    I remember when the federal judge ordered Napster to shut down. The day before the ruling took effect, nearly every workstation in the Odegaard computer lab was taken up by someone desperately trying to download as many songs as possible.

    That album felt epic at the time but looking back it's really good but not great.
