Your First Time.....

Buying Music that is....
What was the first vinyl lp and/or first cd you ever bought? Also how do you usually get your music now?
The first album I ever bought was "Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy" by Elton John. The first CD I ever bought was "Shake Your Money Maker" by The Black Crowes. I haven't made the leap to music downloads and still buy CD's usually from BMG Music Service or Best Buy if BMG hasn't got it. Also I've never bought 8-tracks or cassettes.

Wulfn1, the first album you bought was propably "Sounds of Silence", a great choice, and also one of the very first I bought My older sister's singles collection had a great impact on the choice for my first album purchase, well, "Revolver" with The Beatles. I can still remember, being eight years old in '66, the feeling sitting on the bus back home with the album in my both hands. The world around me didn't excist... to the not so very exciting first CD. "Hotel California" with The Eagles, which I bought a year before I got my first CD-plyer.

First Vinyl I ever bought was a 45, "Brandy" by Looking Glass, with "Golden Rainbow" on the B-side.
First LP I ever bought was Bachman Turner Overdrive (self-titled).
Don't remember which was the actual first cassette, but I think it was either Peter Frampton's "Frampton Comes Alive" or Kansas' "Point of Know Return"
First 8-track was Dan Fogleberg's "Greatest Hits".
My first CD was Bob Seger's "Greatest Hits". My most recent CD purchase was "The Long Road" by Nickelback.

First CD was D-A-D: Helpyourselfish - Danish rock gods.
Nowadays I buy new CD's from CDWOW: http://www9.cd-wow.com/ They're extremely cheap, but the downside is they only have the new stuff available, which in most cases means pure crap like Justin, Britney etc. There are some highlights though such as AIR: Talkie Walkie
Otherwise I go to a special music store called Sexbeat Records in the center of Copenhagen, he has the records I'm looking for in the heavy genre.
Sometimes I go to the regular CD shops as well.
The download era haven't reached Denmark yet (at least the legal). There are some music stores available, but they're not somthing I wanna indulge myself into. Bad offers and lame catalogs. I'll probably use Napster when that service is available here. I will never use iTunes.

I dont want to sound too old (cause I'm not) but my first vinyl was a 78 RPM by a band called Los Angeles Negros. My first 12" vinyl LP was ABBA. My first CD was Eagels - Hotel California.
I never bought 8 tracks but had quite a few that my father gave me. Im not into music downloads but I have a collection of MP3 music that I have coverted from CDs to save time and space

Wow, dig back into the archives.
First vinyl: Either Sixteen Tons by Tenn. Ernie Ford or Elvis, You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog.
" 8-track: The Doors
" album: I think it was the Rolling Stones, Aftermath.
" cd : I think it was the Eagle's Greatest Hits or a compilation album.
Also have had a few 78's and some open reel tape, and one of the first cassettes-the cassette itself was about 4 by 6 inches.
pictoratus, Like all your choices

I can't remember!! 30 years is a long time 
First vinyl album might have been either (same as Essencay) Elton John (Captain Fantastic) or Moody Blues (Days of Future Passed)...I think!
First 45 might have been something from Donny Osmond!
First 8-track was John Denver's Greatest Hits
First cassette...have no idea, could've been something local (from Hawaii)
First CD Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here)

Mercy goodness! It's been way too many years since the first music purchase I made....I used to have a large collection of 45's....we could buy them for 69 cents at the Meijer Thrifty Acres in Grand Rapids, MI and I always got the ones I liked when we shopped there. I still have some of my last bought LP's....think the Disco version of Star Wars soundtrack!
I have a good collection of cassettes and CD's now...in fact, I just picked up 4 new ones last night...."Facedown" by Matt Redman, "Short Term Memories" by Chris Rice, "Hiding Place" by Selah.....and, "American Glory" by Pat Boone!
Most of my music now comes from Family Christian Bookstore, or other Christian bookstores....altho, last week I ordered a couple online...the cd version of John Wayne's America album, and Clay Crosse's "I Surrender All". Sometimes you have to shop where you can find it!
