What was the first vinyl, 8-track, 45, cassette... or... *gasp*... CD you ever bought?

I bought 3 cassettes at once.

Men at Work - Cargo
Duran Duran - Rio
and the Thriller album.

K-Mart.

Some time in the early 80's.

Heh. I bought this rap cassette that had a booklet on how to breakdance. I bought it for the booklet, but the cassette was pretty cool, if I remember correctly:

"White Lines"
"Rockit"
"Hard Times"

Must have been...'83 or '84.

I bought several Beach Boys albums on vinyl a few years before that.

"White Lines..." the song they sang outside the Winchester in Shaun of the Dead? I'd never heard the song they were singing.

My first CD\album\whatnot was Don McLean... My first 8 tracks I inherited from a dumpster (The Village People, Carly Simon, Chuck Mangione, Dollay Parton, the list goes on!). My first cassette was... damn. I think I missed cassettes. I do recall buying Metallica's Ride The Lightning quite a long time ago on cassette. Still have it. Also bought Black Sabbath, and two Slayer albums on cassette (still have those too).

I have no idea, but I'm sure I had Thriller, Ride the Lightning, Cargo, and Rio.

I started late cause my sister bought the early ones (mostly Beatles) and I just listened.

First Vinyl I purchased was Hand Williams Jr in a little var in Toledo(not a pun) called Family Renunion.

Second was David Essex with Rock On. Notices it has been on the come back (again lately)

Not much for purchaseing but Hubby has every 45 that ever went through his Juke Box at his pretty popular bar.

Name a song before 1990 and he probably has it.

But then who would want to lol

Actually, does it have to be music? I just remembered owning an audio version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea on a 33.

They were gifts, but they were:
U2 - Under a Bloody Red Sky
David Lee Roth - Crazy from the heat

The first casettes I ever owned. Played the freak out of them.
It's not me, it's someone else.
