	Carouselambra SUBS Classic Hard Rock Collector Member since Sep 2012 608 Points	I actually went out and bought a CD player back in 1988 because I was browsing at a local record store that managed to have imports and they had some of the Queen 3" CD singles. Having acquired all the Queen albums a year earlier via used record stores, I noticed some songs (B-Sides) that I had never heard. Well, now I just had to go and get me a CD player to buy these things so I could hear these Queen songs, but I couldn't let my first CD purchase be Queen could I? No, I had to go find a copy of Physical Graffiti to be my first CD purchase. After spending $120 on a CD player I headed straight to the local music store to find the greatest album ever on CD. $29.99 was a fair price to hear it without pops and crackles, but the guy at the counter tried to sell me a used copy for much less. No way! I wanted a pristine copy of PG that was still unknown to any CD player. After jamming all night with the headphones to PG, I returned south the next day to go purchase as many of the Queen 3" singles I could at $9.99 each. Within a few weeks I had all 12. Good thing I was an 18 year old with a job at that time as this was at least a couple of weeks pay just to buy the player and discs!
