first vinyl. the rolling stones, out of our heads. and another strange thing that featured some guy playing beatles songs on a hammond organ. the cover had the lyrics and i think chord sequences so that you could pretend you were them.

only 8-track: deep purple, purple passages.

first cassette: no idea.

no idea what the first record i bought myself was. i think jefferson airplane's after bathing at baxters, but that's almost definitely wrong.

first cd: i had a really good cassette playback system so didn't switch over until pretty late in the game. the first i remember is planet v, a drum-and-bass comp.


edit: first 45...sam the sham and the pharoahs, wooly bully. (i might have stolen this from my mother. not sure.)
