FabSwingers.com forum: First music you bought

I know, it's probably been done before but the First Concert thread made me think of it.

So what was the first music you paid cash for?

What format was it? 45/33/cassette/cd/digital download?

My first 45(single) was Bruce Springsteen's The River.

First 33 (album/LP) was Deep Purple - Deepest Purple.

First cassette was Mama's Boys.

I think my first CD was Pearl Jam - Ten.

I don't buy digital.

Queen, Don't stop me now on 7" vinyl at the behest of my older brother! Cost 50p in Dolphin Discs on Talbot Street.

When I got my dad's turntable last year it was the first record I played on it after setting it up!

Seems to be a few rockers n headbangers here.

Just thought I should mention, listen to Kaleo. They're playing Dublin in a month or so. Might still be tickets for the second night, or last minute for either. Just a heads up. I love them!

I still have all the ones I bought first and the equipment to play them on. Must dig out an old tape deck and hook it into the system, even just to show the kids, and make them listen to "real" music

Ah, brings me back. I remember making slow tapes of songs from Metal bands and ladies were seriously impressed. Then I'd play them what those bands normally play. That was fun

Skid Row were awesome. Sebastian Bach is a great vocalist. Have seen him perform with Guns n Roses a few times.

Also liked his contribution to the Chinese Democracy album. (Mike)
