I remember working at an indie record store in Bellingham, WA when the CD came out in 1993. Loads of excited office drones would come in and buy multiple copies. (Have you heard it? you HAVE to hear it!")
A couple weeks later when the Top 10 CDs was redone/reracked, picture the Jingle Cats "Meowy Christmas" CD at #1, next to the Drive Like Jehu, Nick Cave, Flaming Lips, Offspring and whatever else indie kids were buying in December 1993. Somehow our play copy got scratched really bad so we could play it in the rotation, don't know how that happened.
