I begged my dad to drive me to Best Buy in the middle of a snow storm because I needed this on release day. Still can’t believe he did that for me
Vinyl: Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Saw it at a flea market, didn’t even have a record player at the time but it was cheap and I had recently fell in love with the album so I picked it up
Vinyl: Radiohead - In Rainbows Diskbox
CD: Can’t remember, it was mostly singles i bought as a kid. First non best of I remember buying was Definitely Maybe but that was a full 3 years after I had gotten a cd player…
I bought PAC-Man Fever by Buckner and Garcia and Eye of the Tiger by Survivor on tape. I don’t remember the first vinyl or cd I bought. Possibly Sgt Pepper on CD.
By the time I was a lot into tapes and was recording radio to have complete albums. Then I think it was either the first Wu-Tang Clan or first Doc Gynéco (French HIp-Hop). My first vinyl was Wraygunn - Eclesiastes 1.11.
Cassette: U2 - Achtung Baby
CD - Metallica - Black Album
Vinyl: Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues (I'm pretty sure I bought Real Estate "Days" at the same time)
CD - it was Arrested Development - 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of... and Boys II Men - Cooleyhighharmony were purchased to soon after receiving my first CD Player (a Craig Boombox) for Christmas in 1992. I was in 5th grade at the time.
Vinyl - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - The River and The Beatles - Hey Jude. In 2005 I has living in a house with some roommates and one of them had an all-in-one system collecting dust in the basement so I decided to hook it up. A few days later I was at a local head shop that sold used albums and picked both of those up on a whim, together they cost me around $12.
