Your first album/CD?

[mysticalmum]

Was just thinking about the first album I owned, and realised that it was 34 years ago!! The album was a compilation album called Ripper '76 (see above...)

Thought it would be interesting to hear what my fellow geeks started their music collections with!

[ZenBubble]

My first album was actually two albums bought at the same time - "Kiss Unmasked" by Kiss and "Chipmunk Punk" b Alvin and The Chipmunks. They were both on cassette, and set the stage for a life-long music collection of what has been defined as "eclectic" by some and just lain weird by others.

First CD was "Chronologie" by Jean Michel Jarre.

I'll try to update this post tonight with some links.

My first album was a shocker, "Like a Virgin." by Madona. I saved my pocket money for weeks to buy it!!

[xombiekitty]

I *think* the first LP bought for me was Alvin and The Chipmonks - Chipmonk Rock.


I *think* the first LP I bought myself was Nik Kershaw - Radio Musicola.

Sorry... it's a long time ago now, lol

I *think* the first CD bought for me was Icehouse - Great Southern Land


I know the first CD I bought was Bon Jovi - New Jersey.


When I was a kid we borrowed LPs from Batman records, so it's a bit hard to recall what I purchased rather than rented, so I only listed what I know I owed

Ha, I have that Ripper 76 album (one I stole from Mum's collection!).

The first album I had bought for me was Terrence Trent D'arby (on cassette), and the first one I bought myself was called I think Hit Pix 88 or something like that, a compilation with "I should be so lucky" and songs like that on there.

My first album bought for me was Chipmunk Punk also.

The first album I bought myself was Debbie Gibson, Out of the Blue.
And first CD was U2, Rattle and Hum.

Do we want to go as far as first MP3 album bought? Hope not.... mine was the Wiggles...... it was for the kids...... No really. Well my actual first was Leigh Nash, Blue On Blue.

[xombiekitty]

Ooh, the first MP3 ablum that I bought for myself was Snow Patrol's Eyes Open.
I did buy Mental As Anything's Instrumental As Anything for ZenBubble a few years earlier though.

I swear iTunes is sending me broke
I buy mainly singles though.

[ZenBubble]

Chipmunk Punk fans - Check It Out!

I know what you mean. I just made myself a Dollhouse soundtrack from most of these songs
Most were singles so it was much more expensive, but worth every cent.

What can I say, I'm a girly geek.

first mp3 album would of been The Fray (self titled).

First cassette tape my mum bought me was one of the Chipmunks ones the one that you picture of zenbubble. First record I bought was a Young Talent Time one in the 1980's

[darth_sully]

My 1st album was Dire Straits-Brothers In Arms and I still have the cassette, but I have also got it on CD

[SuperWannabe]

I think mine was a roll of wax with a voice saying "I am talking to you via the phonograph" I'm old!!!!

[cyspazzz]

Your only as old as you feel, or is it who you feel? I always get confused with that saying.

[SuperWannabe]

LOL. Bit of both if you are lucky.

I don't ever feel old though. 141 and counting!!!

[Baralier]

I suppose it depends on how you define FIRST doesn't it?

I think this may have been my first:
