Long boxes were never really a thing with European CDs.
All the ones I had were American imports.

The very first cd's I ever bought were Def Leppard Pyromania and Thompson Twins Into The Gap, I bought them at Licorice Pizza. Both came in the big boxes. Hey man Into the Gap was a good album. LOL

I got one of these personal CD player thingys for my 12th birthday. It was designed to be jog-proof and to be used 'on the go'. Even by personal CD player standards it was ridiculously bulky. I was delighted to get it though as it meant not having to put up with cassettes getting destroyed on me.

My very first stereo was a Ferguson boombox like this. As a kid I thought it was badass.

A lot of this is kinda cracking me up. This was my first portable music when I was a kid and it only picked up AM.
