As far as I can remember...in this order:
cassette tape = Micheal Jackson - Thriller (either that or the Minipops)
record album (vinyl) = Madonna - s/t
cd = ...maybe Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth ...? (I was late to get on that boat)

Oh... I guess I had various "kids" records and tapes before these.

wow, this is tough.
First vinyl- a 7 inch of Foreigner's "Feels Like the First Time." I was 6.
First cassette- this I truly do not remember.
cd- probably Nine Inch Nails' "Pretty Hate Machine" or Sinead O'Connor's "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got." My parents gave me a cd player in 1990, so I was a late bloomer.

Everybody point and laugh.

It's ok. That was my first cd as well.

My first cassette was "Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ" by Bruce Springsteen and my first vinyl was "Crest Of A Knave" by Jethro Tull.

cassette - Police - syncronicity, or Bruce Springsteen - Born in the usa
cd - tribe - midnight marauders

don't own any viynl and would hope to correct this and start collecting once I get some disposable income.

vinyl = Magical Mystery Tour

cassette = no clue - I think I went straight to CD.

CD = Def Leppard - Pyromania

I was in on the ground floor with CDs. I remember the selection in the early 80's was ridiculous.

CD: TLC Crazysexycool/Aaliyah Age Ain't Nothing But A Number
Cassette: Hmm, I think it was Busta Rhyme's Extinction Level Event, but I'm not sure.

Yes, I was trying to fit in.

I'm pretty sure it was some K-Tel comp on vinyl. But I was 7 years old so it's kind of a blur.....

LP: Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies
Cassette: Jesus Christ Superstar (Original Broadway Cast)
CD: REM Out Of Time, John Wesley Harding The Name Above The Title, and The Hangmen debut (all purchased along with my first CD player)

Feck, I think you've just dislodged a memory block. My real first LP was probably K-Tel's 22 Explosive Hits. The one with April Wine "Bad Side Of The Moon", Five Man Electrical Band "Signs", Daniel Boone "Beautiful Sunday", and, um, Sammy Davis Jr. "Candy Man".

Vinyl...I think a Falco 7-inch for "Vienna Calling" his failed follow-up to "Rock me Amadeus." I'm not even remotely kidding.

Cassette: I'd like to think it was Licensed to Ill, but it was probably the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop or Back to the Future. Not too sure.

CD: Either Rhythm Nation, Heavy D's Big Tyme, or Young MC's Stone Cold Rhymin. I think I received the JJ and Young MC CDs as presents along with the CD player for xmas. I think I then bought the Do the Right Thing soundtrack, which I'd had on tape for a while, and made an awkward first Depeche Mode purchase with Violator.

First MP3...no clue.

Thee Incident · **Posted:** Sat Jan 14, 2006 3:05 am

record - Michael Jackson: Thriller
Cassette: Revenge of the Nerds soundtrack
CD - Blind Melon: s/t, Pearl Jam: Vs.

HideousLump · **Posted:** Sat Jan 14, 2006 3:25 am

Album - Probably either a Bill Cosby or Spike Jones disc, having discovered both through my father's record collection

First Music Album: Barry Manilow - Barry Manilow

Cassette - Didn't

CD - I fully intended it to be Dark Side of the Moon, but the fuckers didn't have it in stock. So instead I bought:
- Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon (one of the first things recorded especially for CD, so I had coveted this one for a while)
- Peter Gabriel - Security (because it was DDD, which I thought meant it was going to sound amazing. It didn't. Mastered way too low.)
- Some third CD which I can't remember at the moment
