With Vol. 16, my CD collection grew from one to three with the addition of Beastie Boys' Hello Nasty and Madonna's Ray Of Light. Since I spent most of the allowance I got from my mother on comic books, magazines and blank tapes, I didn't have the funds to buy CDs on a regular basis until my brother decided to throw me an extra $20 every two weeks when he got paid. Like clockwork, I would walk to the K-Mart in our neighborhood sometime during that weekend and buy a CD. It's where I bought The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and many more that followed.
Not only would I be able to use my brother's CDs, but I was now starting to add even more of my myself into The Collection with selections of album tracks from CDs that I purchased. It may not seem like much, but it meant a world of difference since I wasn't able to do the same with my cassettes, which I had for years. The rest of Vol. 16 was business as usual, with an assortment of radio favorites and selected songs from my brother's CDs.
