    The first album I remember purchasing for myself was Aerosmith Pump, on tape cassette. Or maybe it was Fat, by Weird Al?

    I first heard The Beatles when I was seven. My brother gave me the following of his old albums:

    A Hard Day's Night (German imprint)
    Revolver (original Parlophone mono)
    A Collection of Beatles Oldies (original Parlophone stereo)
    Sgt. Pepper (Parlophone stereo)
    The Beatles (original Apple stereo)
    Abbey Road (original French Apple imprint)
    John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (original Apple - white Apple label)
    Ram (original Apple)
    Imagine (original Apple)
    Beatles 1967-70 (original Apple)
    Band On The Run (original, was it Apple?)
    Mind Games (original Apple)
    Living in the Material World (original Apple)
    Walls and Bridges (original Apple)

    That was in about March 1980. For my eighth birthday, in July 1980, I got a French reissue Apple version of Let It Be, and McCartney II. Funnily enough, a few days later, my mum found an original Apple copy of Let It Be at a jumble sale and brought it home for me.


    That is awesome!! And some money you got there.

    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Pretty sure the very first record I ever bought was Michael Jackson Thriller when I was 6 years old. I still have it, and it's in great shape. :)

    The first cassette tape that I bought was Tiffany, I'm sorry to say. :\">

    The first CD I bought was Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (I was really late to the party with CDs, lol).

    The first record I bought when I rededicated myself to vinyl for the first time since 1988 was the Led Zeppelin BBC session Joker SM3721 bootleg. :-bd (my second was No Code).
