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.

First Vinyl: The Monkees, Greatest Hits. (I'm so embarassed)
First CD: Van Halen, Diver Down or Rush, Signals.
Latest CD: Third Day, Wire or David Crowder Band, Illuminate.
Typically...if it's not available on ITunes, I don't bother.

First 'record' bought FOR me....The Little Yellow Taxi.....a picture book with an embedded 45-sized record on the back cover....78 speed....I would have been about 5 ....so that's about 1959....I still have it somewhere....it's audio quality is somewhere between 'crap' and 'disasterous'....

roflmao @Jafo's post hahahahahaha
I was born in 56.....that would make you only about 8 yrs older... dang where did the time go???? 
While I was upstairs quietly listening to a vinyl 45 with 'Paint it Black' on one side and 'Hey Little Girl' on the other via a plastic orange and grey record player...my 4 yrs older than me brother was gyrating and stomping the cheap 50's modular style accessories off the walls dancing to Elvis....after which he would wear his earth colored paisley print cotton short with the sleeves torn off...a 4'diameter sombrero hanging off his neck and his $10 acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder (no he couldn't play worth a toot) and go walking around town in cowboy boots way too tight with a james dean/elvis attitude plastered all over his face until it was suppertime.... My 2 yrs older than me sister was fussing over her blonde hair and practicing frowning attractively 
and kissing herself in the mirror
. I had a 'Mr. Machine' that I subliminally programmed to attack her for being such a sick prissy.

My first portable turntable was this little lime-green and white plastic thing about the size of a PC keyboard that opened up to play records. It had one tinny speaker. Ran on batteries or corded. I can remember listening to my Mom's Roger Miller and Johnny Cash albums on it. This was circa 1970.

First album was (I think) Soft Parade by the Doors. First CD - hmmm. Oddly I can't remember. As you get old, recent memory goes first.
HMV is usually the place I get stuff now.
