I think I still have both of the cassettes around somewhere, but I don't have any way to play them.

no joke....Bang a Gong...

The usual kiddie stuff was bought for me, but the first one I wanted that was purchased for me was the Sound Of Music soundtrack. I was fortunate enough that my parents bought me all the books and music I could want until I started working in my early teens.

I bought myself three LPs with one of my first paychecks (probably cost me about $10). I'm fairly certain I recall correctly: Neil Young's Harvest, Fragile by Yes, and Edgar Winter's They Only Come Out At Night.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony/Ressurection

Its the first album i ever copped. :)

First LP "Black and White" The Stranglers ............ still a great album.

First CD "Love Over Gold" Dire Straights

Come to think of it, wasn't Love over Gold the first commercially available CD? Amazing - at the time - to hear a track like Telegraph Road without cracks, bangs, pops, whistles and hiss.:)

My first LP was "ELO" , "I'm a man" album. Think I was about 6 or 7 yrs old.
My first CD was "Pink Floyd-The Wall"..This was when CD players first came out.

"When Doves Cry" - Prince on 45rpm

There is no way I'm going to remember the first record I owned, but some of the early 45's are 'The hookey song', Teresa Brewer & Don Cornell - 'Only the Lonely' , Roy Orbison - 'Gardian Angles', written by Groucho Marx, sung by Mario Lanza.

I was just thinking that years from now someone's answer to this will be Justin Bieber's first album.

Petra, first album

mortal kombat soundtrack. Best giftcard use ever! 1st album I purchased with my own money? some dance/trance/techno compilation.

I'm fairly sure the first album I ever owned was Jethro Tull's "Songs from the Wood."

I remember the first CD I ever bought was by a little folk/rock band named Tempest. The album was called "Bootleg," but just had the singer's boots on the cover, motion blurred because he was dancing. I still have it, it's not too bad.
