My first LP that I bought was Stay Hungry by Twisted Sister.
I gave my older sister money to get it for me, as she was going into the city.
First tape was Lick It Up by KISS.
I don't download music much, just from record companies, band sites, and Revolver mag.
Is a rush to buy a new CD...that is why I have so many.
 
Rolling Stones on cassette~Tattoo You...
XOXO
 
Would you believe it was "The Chipmunk Song" with Alvin and the other two chipmunks? Well, I was only 9 years old at the time. 😀
 
The beginning to my music collection began with two, actually. They were both gifts at my 6th birthday party. One from my Grandmother, one from my Aunt. I don't remember the exact names of the albums now (I was so young), but from Grandma I got a Shaun Cassidy album, and from my aunt an Andy Gibb album. I was sooooooooo in love with both of them when I was little....sitting in front of my little blue and white record player, singing into a hairbrush, dreaming about the day I would be either Mrs. Cassidy or Mrs. Gibb.

The first album I actually purchased myself with my own money was Wham! - Make it Big. Yeah, yeah....let the jokes begin. For what it's worth, though, I was in love with Andrew Ridgeley (the 'other' guy in Wham), not George Michael.

First singles I got (both when I was 6 or 7)
Come on Down to My Boat by Every Mother's Son (yes)
and Happy Together by The Turtles

First album I bought with my own money was War Child by Jethro Tull when I was 14.

First cassette was I'm The Man by Joe Jackson

I never had an 8-track player or 8-track tapes.

First CD I bought (I think) was either Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits.
 
I never bought any LP's. Just the kids records that family had bought for me.

The first casette I ever owned was the 'Dynasty' album from KISS.

The first cd I ever bought, I believe, was the 'Sober' album from Tool.

One of my favorite albums, period, ever since the first time I heard it, played in its entirety after its release one night on the old WPLJ in New York, back when it was AOR. I have it on vinyl. I have the special 7-inch album (all on 45 RPM singles), I have it on a cassette someplace, and I have it on two different CDs, in case one breaks...

The very first music I ever bought were two 45s, at a store that wasn't a record store per se. They had stores like that in those days. Eric Clapton's "I Shot The Sheriff" and Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died". If you know what year I bought these singles, you're showing your age! :yowzer:
 
My first LP was HELP by the Beatles. My first tape was Walk this Way by Aerosmith. :cool2:

Hey Unit, thanks...I just put the Joe Jackson album on. Good mention!

Good mention to you for WPLJ. They were very highly regarded and I would listen to it if I was in the NY area.
I'm The Man is a great album...I should get the CD.
Also like Look Sharp and Beat Crazy. I didn't care for his later stuff.

I'm guessing I Shot the Sheriff and The Night Chicago Died were from 1974.
I was in 8th grade...yikes!
 
hmm my very first lp? i hate to admit it.. but the elvis presley movie hits.. grrrrrrrr i used to love him, but not anymore.. also i was given a gift of the three dog night double platinum album, their live tour... from a boyfriend.

'Beat Crazy', last time I looked, was out of print...and I looked high and low for it on CD, but no dice. That might've changed...I have the vinyl LP, but I don't play those things anymore.

Back in those days, WPLJ was album-oriented. It went top 40 back in '83 or so, and sometime in the mid '90s, it went to a modified format for thirtysomethings, in other words, Modern English's 'I Melt With You' segueing into No Doubt's 'Underneath It All', sixty four commercials and promos in a row, and then James Blunt's 'You're Beautiful'. Not for me. The on-air personalities are all as dumb as dirt, too.

I think the very first album I bought might've been the Boston album. The first one, of course. That would've been the autumn of 1976, when all the kids in my school were beating down the doors at Sam Goody to buy that album. Looking back thirty years ago, it's hard to believe what a classic album that was, that it was this group's first album, and all the cuts (with the arguable case of the final one notwithstanding) were grand slams...
 
I was a metalhead, so I bought Guns and Roses when I was in Middle School.
 
First 8 track (beginning of my music collection, gift)..Donny Osmond something
First album I bought myself....Andy Gibb, Flowing Rivers.
First cassette...Rick Springfield, Working Class Dog and Foreigner 4
First cd...Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons 50 Greatest Hits

I was so very very young.
 
Woo hoo! Rick Springfields "Working Class Dog" was the first cassette I bought, too! God, I was in love with him for years. And hell, he's still pretty damn hot for his age now! 25 years later and I still think he's awesome! :wub:

Foreigner 4...good one LK!!
Knox...I wore out that Boston album (along with Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak album).
I could burn you a copy of Beat Crazy if you were interested since I bought the CD several years ago.
I love this thread!!
 
The first two 8-tracks I ever bought....sadly enough.... were "Some Girls" by The Rolling Stones and "Earth" by Jefferson Starship. And only cause I knew the hits from both of these crappy albums.

Don't remember my first records, but the first 3 cds I bought were:

Jimi Hendrix- "Live at Winterland"
Whitesnake- "Whitesnake"
Albert Collins- "Cold Snap"

My first tape was Dare To Be Stupid by Weird Al Yankovich

My first CD was Never Let Me Down by David Bowie

First record was Let's Dance by David Bowie.

I was lucky that my cousin bought the Sony CD player when it first came out and he gave it to us in 1986, when he bought a newer one. So I has CDs before records. By the time I had a stero with a record player I would buy the albums just as a novelty.
 
HEY that was mine too!!!!!! I was just about to post that lol
I was soooo obsessed with them lol.

my first tape, cassete, was Oasis...morning glory ithink thats what it was called lol
 
My first cassette might've been one of the following

Mariah Carey: Music Box
New Kids On The Block something
Madonna: Bedtime Stories
Vanilla Ice something
or Soundtrack to the Bodyguard...


This might explain why I'm so strange now.
 
When I was a wee lad I remember buying lots of those "Little Golden Records," with titles like "Frankie The Funny Fireman", which I remember doing a lame dance to in my First Grade class when the teacher played it on the record player.

Other than the kiddy stuff, my first official 'grown up' 45 RPM record was this, from way back in 1968 when I was six or seven years old:

And the first album that I remember buying when I was a kid:
