First LP / Cassette / CD / MP3
As I sit at my computer reviewing my mp3’s for songs that I want/need and don’t have yet, I started to think about the first album (LP in my case) I bought on my own free will (not a gift). I realized that I have purchased music in four different forms of media over the years (LP, cassette, CD, and mp3) (No 8-track, DAT, or mini-disc). I was also amazed that I remembered what each purchase was fairly distinctly. I guess since music imprints so strongly in our memory that this shouldn’t be that big of a surprise after all.
Do all of you remember your first purchases of each type? What were they? (If you never “bought” a MP3, the first one you ripped then) How did your taste in music evolve over the years? Here are mine to get started: Album: Flash Gordon – The Movie Soundtrack Cassette: Quiet Riot – Metal Health CD – Elvis Costello – Spike MP3: Tenacious D - Self-Titled Quite a mix over the years... |

I bought my first 2 cds on the same day:
Bad Brains- The Youth Are Getting Restless Slayer- Seasons in the Abyss I think both were upgrades from tapes. |

My very first LP remains one of the most embarrassing musical purchases of my life: The New Gary Puckett and the Union Gap Album.
