What was the first cassette/Lp/CD/*-track you bought ever.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

CD was whatever the first Ghostdance major label single was called. I forget. It jumped. In my luddite way I was delighted, especially after the whole Tomorrow's World thing of saying the were indestructible. Used mine as a shaving mirror! ;D

I seem to remember them spreading jam or peanut butter on one to prove the point.

LP - Adam & The Ants, can't remember which one though

7" - I won it at a fair, it was on PYE records, I think the track was called Air Force and the band were called Space. Was sub-Kraftwerk synths. Obviously, it was the best single ever 8)

CD - A Kind Of Magic

First purchase: Voulez-Vous by Abba on cassette in 1979, for which I got the money by selling my Star Wars action figures to a schoolmate. I got a fiver for them, a huge amount to an 8 year old in 1979 although I suspect if I'd kept them they'd be worth considerably more today :(

Still, at least I spent the money well!

7": a joint venture with my brother... we put our money together for Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go go ;D

LP: Pixies - Gigantic (actually a 12" and that was weeks before I bought my first turntable)
My first proper LP was: Dead Kennedys - Bedtime for Democracy

CD: Ramones - All The Stuff (and more) Vol 1 (bought it the same day as my first cd player. I fondly remember the disc skipping during the last tracks... I never was that impressed with ceedees after that ;D )

First tape was also a Ramones one, Mania if I'm not mistaken...


Those were the days :D

Min was Now That's what I call Music 8 - which funnily enough included the single Notorious.

Second one was Madonna - Like a VIrgin
