First ever CD I bought today - Dire Straits - Making Movies. My grandparents bought me a CD player boombox for my 18th birthday and it was quite a big deal as I was the first of all my friends to have a CD player. The difference between this and cassette tapes was amazing. I went out almost immediately and bought a CD as the CD they also gave me with it was pretty lame as I recall. Making Movies had just been released on CD when I bought it and was one of not many CDs available at that time. I still have that CD stashed away somewhere. Unlike vinyl though despite being played a lot I haven't worn the grooves down like I did with some of my records. Was listening to some more modern Mark Knopfler and thought back to this great album and decided to just put it on and give it a listen.
