What was the first music album you bought?

[Imaculata]

It was either Republica, or the Jurassic Park soundtrack.

 

[Mad_Jack]

Probably either Grateful Dead or Janis Joplin on cassette - I was big into those when I was in junior high and first starting to buy my own stuff.

 

[Hades#2]

I don't remember what the first record was that I bought with my own money. My mom belonged to a record club in the 70's and she would let my brothers and I get 1 album whenever she ordered. The 1st one I owned was probably either Three Dog Night or the 2001 Space Odyssey soundtrack. Later in the 70's when I had my own money I bought several movie soundtracks including all the James Bond movies, Star Wars, Close Encounters, Superman, etc. I also bought Foreigner, Styx, Heart, and others.

I really had to think hard about this, but if I'm being honest....

The first album (cassette) I bought with my own money. I started when I was young. Like really young. I think I was 8 or 10...?

 

[briggart]

First album I personally bought was Sting's Dreams of the Blue Turtles in, I think, '87 or '88. It still holds a special spot in my heart, even though I haven't listened to it in several years.
