Daddyjt 8,606 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Just as the title says: What is the first album that you ever bought - could be vinyl, reel to reel, 8-track, cassette, CD, or digital download... Or all of the above. For me, Cassette = Van Halen 1984 CD = Def Leppard Hysteria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDR 1,192 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 In 1974 (ish) a big bag of records was delivered to my dads company by the post office. They phoned a few times to tell them they had dropped them off to the wrong place. A few months later he brought the bag home cause no one came to claim it. I remember most were unremarkable, but the one I kept, and it was my first.....by first it was mine not shared with my siblings...was by "The Band"....Northern Lights, Southern Cross. Heres my list: Album: The Band....Northern Lights, Southern Cross 8 Track: ZZ Top...Fandango Cassette: Supertramp....Crime of the Century CD: Dire Straights......Bothers in arms Download: Katie Melua.....Piece by Piece It amazes me I could remember these.....I cant remember what I did last week usually.

dennismiller55 4,717 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It is really hard to remember that far back so I will have to go with what popped into my head first. At sixteen my first vehicle was a 1959 Apache Pickup that I installed an 8-track player. My father had a Receiver with a built in 8-Track player that I used at home. I believe the first music I bought was "Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath" in 8-Track. I remember playing it back to back, over and over, again and again. My Fathers 8-Track Receiver is still on a top shelf in one of my Mothers closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slbenz 110 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Must be a running theme here, Sgt. Peppers on 8-track was my first album I bought. CD- Phillips demo disc called "Here the Light on Phillips". Cassette- Herbie Hancock, "Future Shock". Mostly I copied albums I had onto cassette to play in the car. LP- Foreigner, "Double Vision".

zumbini 6,138 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 My first music purchases were 45's that I bought in the mid 60's with money from a paper route. All of them are long gone and I honestly don't remember any of the titles. Around 1967 my parents won this ElectroPhonic combo unit as a door prize at a church function. They had something similar in the living room so it wound up in my bedroom (shared with 2 brothers). Not long after we got it I made my first trip to the local head shop/music store and bought 5 albums: The Doors - The Doors Frank Zappa's Freak Out Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn The Moody Blues' Days Of Future Passed Iron Butterfly's in-a-godda-da-vida I still have all 5 LPs even though they are unlistenable and have been replaced at least once.

Gene C 1,745 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Since this is about first album bought...not given, borrowed or mysteriously inherited... My first album bought would be Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise? by The Art of noise in late 84, think I was 10 years old then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPA-1 Man 597 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Wow! That was a few years ago. I was 10 years old helping my dad in his shop. I used some of my money to buy this: Pretty trippy for a 10 year old but I just loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagamore2007 71 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 First Album would have to have been "Deep Purple"---probably drove my parents NUTS, listening to Hush over and over again on my first stereo---a little Laffayette ??SP electronics 20 amp stereo & speakers---I still have the Laffayette LT 725A AM/FM receiver and some entry level Garrard turntable. 3 years later I put my first Dynaco kits together. First 8track---probably was Frank Zappa "Eddie was a Mountain" First cassette---Eagles---Hotel California First CD--Little Feat Time Loves a Hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlkohler 106 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Like some others here it boggles my mind that I could remember this (thanks for the thread). Forgot to mention the first album ever purchased for me was Kansas - Leftoverture. I remember it like it was yesterday because after I opened it I did nothing else the rest of the day but play it over and over. After the presents were opened at my house we went to visit my grandmother. Unbeknownst to my parents I took the album along. When we got situated I asked my grandmother if I could play it. She of course was accommodating and later as many of my relatives began to complain, about the "noise" coming from the vintage stereo rather than Christmas music, my grandmother calmly told them all to be quiet the boy is enjoying Christmas! Thanks Mammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maskinisten 59 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The first album i bought was Judas Priest - Stained Class. I was between 6 and 7 years old, tormented my parents with this album for years, had to get up early every morning to play it in the living room before school.. At least they never had any trouble getting me out of bed in the morning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
