Similar story! The first disc (and song) I heard was "Let's Dance," David Bowie.

I have hundreds of discs, but only have Let's Dance on vinyl.

I also have the second pop digital recording ever, The Nightly by Donald Fagen, only on vinyl. I use it to show people how good records can sound.

I'm glad I bought and kept so much music when I did, because now the labels have destroyed everything with dynamic (not data) compression. It's disgusting. Now that everyone has dirt-cheap access to pristine recording & playback technology, music sounds like absolute shit because some suits thought it needed to sound "louder."

It's possibly one of the biggest but least-understood crimes against art in all of history.
