I was listening to Van Halen's Diver Down on cd earlier and noticed the date of the disc - 1982.
Cd's only became available that year and this album was released in April of 82 so i'm guessing it's quite possibly the earliest cd i own.
38 years old and still plays perfectly.
Incidentally. My old hi-fi always needed the volume turning up when i played cd's from the 80's in comparison to cd's from the 21st century. With my new JVC hi-fi that's no longer the case. This album had the same clarity and volume as a cd released last week.
