Re: On This Day In 1983 Philips Launched The CD.
My first CD pl;ayer was a Marantz CD65 in 1985.
My then girlfriend phoned me from a shop in Chester saying she'd bought it for £350 and did I mind? Luckily I didn't, having intended to take the plunge and she's got fed up of me mentioning it.
A few weeks later I attended a hi-fi show where the Marantz salesmen were extolling its virtues. 'I know, I've got one' I told them. 'You can't have - it's being released here thuis week!' They refused to believe me...
