not as "cool" as i'd like it to be, but here it is.
first record - rage against the machine 7" single for people of the sun
i got it from some website for free
first record (album) - tie b/w led zep - coda and jimi hendrix - rainbow bridge soundtrack
from college radio station sale
(also the only physical vinyl i own, although i have gigs upon gigs of mp3 rips)
first CD - shit, genesis - we can't dance
that was a gift, i probably liked it at the time but i soon sold it for metallica or something
looking back, i wish i had gotten the more exciting & cheesy genesis from a few years prior.
first cassette - some top 40 bad company single from a cereal box mail-in offer
first mp3 - i think it was a nirvana unreleased/rare track. not sure which song exactly. this was from the pre-napster days when websites posted mp3s (huh, that's made a huge comback)
i played it on Winplay or something. the program didn't allow skipping around during playback of the file.
it's strange that the total cost of these firsts (to me) was about four bucks.
