Can you remember the very first Vinyl/CD/Tape...

[~*Belle 2003*~]

...you bought yourself?

The first 7" vinyl record I ever bought was Let's Dance by Chris Montez. Still have the original copy upstairs!

 

[nuts4sn00py]

The first record I ever bought was "Rhinestone Cowboy" Glenn Campbell...ooh...I think that shows my age! LOL Kathy

 

[swanmom]

WOW ! Chris Montez, I haven't thought of that singer in ages.....but I do remember "The More I See You." My first official purchase with my own money - the double album of Tommy by the Who. Now you all know how old I am!!!

 

[DrCool]

I think my first records were:

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Stay Hungry by Twisted Sister
Out of the Cellar by RATT
Metal Health by Quiet Riot

Pretty good selection isn't it.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I remember my first VHS, it was Sound of Music! One of my all time favorite movies!

 

[Dizzy-Disney4]

The first 45 I bought myself was Centerfold by J Giles. Did i even spell that right?? Gosh, that seems like forever ago.

 

[snoopy]

The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You".

Oddly enough, I still like that song.

 

[Towncrier]

First album that I bought with my own money: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
First 45RPM single that I bought with my own money: Lady Godiva by Peter & Gordon
First CD: (I can't remember, but there weren't many available when I bought my CD player back in 1982)
First prerecorded videotape: Xanadu (starring Olivia Newton John)
First Laserdisk: Xanadu (do you see a pattern???)

And yes, I ended up buying Xanadu on DVD when it was released. When I was in high school, I used to buy prerecorded reel-to-reel tapes. I even joined the Columbia House tape club just to have access to more 7" tapes. I still have the tapes, but nothing to play them on. I assume that the tapes are probably no good by now with lots of print through and oxide shedding.

I can truthfully say that I have NEVER purchased a prerecorded cassette tape. I've seen too many tapes eaten by car cassette players. I'd rather buy the album/CD and make my own tape.

 

[Blondie]

My first 45 rpm was "All Right Now" by Free. I think I was around 9 or 10 years old!

Album was probably Donny Osmond!

8 Track was Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith. (I'm dating myself here, aren't I!)

Cassette/CD I have no clue!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

first DVD: X-Men(1 disc)

first 2 disc DVD: Moulin Rouge

[PandyPaws]

First Album I bought myself was in 1969, The Beatles ~ Abbey Road

 

[Melrosgirl]

Rolling Stones - Start Me Up

 

[ryanpatricksmom]

I didn't actually purchase it, but the first album that I ever asked for was "Meet the Beatles".

 

[snoopy]

8 Track was Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith. (I'm dating myself here, aren't I!)

I had this 8 track too! DH (who at the time was BF) loved that song Big Ten Inch and we had to listen to it every day for months. Ah, the joys of remember those teenaged years.

 

[holycow]

First Vinyl I purchased for my self was Elton John Goodbye Yellow brick Road Album...I think I paid like 5$ for it!

It is still one of my favs...

Holycow

 

[FOJMO]

First 45 RPM record - "I Want To Hold Your Hand" - The Beatles

First 33 RPM record - "Beatles '65" - The Beatles

First 8 track tape - "Pisces Aquarius Capricorn and Jones, Ltd" - The Monkees

AAHHH! Those were the days!!!

 

[grinningghost]

Oh wow - the first 45 I bought with my own money was "Keep on Singing" by Helen Reddy - yikes, I was about 8 years old. The first vinyl LP was actually the Camelot soundtrack - my parents took me to see it as a real little kid, and I loved the songs - I don't think I paid for that one though - I was about 4. The first LP I bought myself was probably "Rumors" by Fleetwood Mac.

The first CD I bought was "Big" by Yes.

The funny thing is, I still have all the vinyl, but I don't have that CD anymore.

 

[Melissamoo]

My first LP was "Portrait of Donny" by Donny Osmond - i still have it.
My first single was "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John

 

[Micca]

First 7 inch vinyl I bought was the Beatles Love Me Do/P.S. I Love You. It was .77 at Woolworths. I have subsequently purchased every Beatles (including solo) release for the past 39 years.

 

[lisajl]

Another "Toys in the Attic" person here. Except I had the cassette tape.

Big ten inch...I had completely forgotten about that song!!!

LOL!!!
