first record/tape/cd you bought with your own money

Van Morrison, 45 version of Blue Eyed Girl.

 

CD, The Breakfast Club Soundtrack.

 

Nirvana's Nevermind.

 

The Clash. London Calling. On (I shit you not) 8-track.

Still have it. Still play it for the hell of it on my mom's still-functioning console stereo once a year or so.

 

"Houses of the Holy" & "Who Are You?"

 

probably a Duran Duran one

 

He's no SEAN Lennon.

 

Ace of Base

 

"Appetite for Destruction" by Guns N' Roses

 

"Footloose" Soundtrack and "Innocent Man" by Billy Joel.

 

First coming? If so, you're showing your age.

Mine was 45 of 'Do they Know it's Christmas?' - Band Aid.
Mum bought it but it was my Christmas money.

 

I have it too. I avoided "We Are the World" though. A bit too cheezy.

I think the 1st cassette I bought was "The Clash" and then bought all the rest of The Clash catalogue on cassette. Still have them in a box somewhere.

 

I think my first CD was either Poison's "Flesh & Blood" or Public Enemy's "Apocalypse '91... the Enemy Strikes Black"

Either way, my mother was thrilled.

 

That was actually my first album, but it was a gift. My brother got 'Thriller'.

 

The Adam and the Ants album that had "Goody Two Shoes" on it, don't remember the name of the record.

Proud? No.

 

Squeeze - Argybargy

 

I know it wasn't "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" or "Arena" cuz I got those both as gifts...It may have been "Rio" but it had been out for years by then.

 

Down in the Tube Station at Midnight - The Jam

 

CD: Queen - A Kind of Magic
Vinyl: Black Sabbath - Mob Rules (two or three years after my first CD)

 

I'm almost positive it was a 45 of King Tut by Steve Martin. Or maybe Freak Out by Chic.

The first LP I bought was a gift for my sister. Bee Gees Live.

 

I think the first album I bought with my own money was either the "Star Wars" soundtrack or "Magical Mystery Tour" by the Beatles.

"London Calling" on 8-track?!? -Wow!
