What was the first record, 8-trak. tape, or CD you ever purchased?


My parents had a pretty good record/8-trak collection growing up, so I didn't actually need to buy anything until I was about 8, and then I purchased...

The Mamas and Papas "If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears"

8-trak and casettes are ahead of my time (not to say I never bought vinyl). First CD I think was one of those mix CDs with hits on the charts at the time. I might have been 9 or 10.

And I first played the B side, which starts with the track, "Shambala".

Still like that song.

I think the first music I ever bought with my own money was a vinyl LP with songs about Batman. I was 6.

I owned a Milli Vanilli cassette back in 1st grade.

The first album I really listened to a lot was Homebase, by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

That was my first CD as well. I have repurchased it twice, and my Hendrix collection has grown to 7-8 CDs.

I can't remember. It was an LP (vynil) and I think it had to do with disco music. I must have been 8 or 9 at the time, so leave me alone.

The first one I distinctively remember getting, however, is John Cougar Mellencamp's Scarecrow.

Personally with my own money, the first music I ever bought was a cassette tape of Vivaldi recorder concertos. I was 10 at the time.
