Picture it... Rural Saskatchewan, Canada, 1986. I was in Grade 3. Saved up my allowance to buy Madonna's "True Blue", in cassette format.
I truly don't remember the first album I ever bought, but I had quite a Beatles collection before I was old enough to buy albums. The first piece of music I ever bought was a 45 - Aretha Franklin's Respect.
Jimi hendrix - Are You Experienced...a great album indeed, jimi got me into the whole sixties music thing
Green Day "Warning" was the first i bought myself in grade 7 or 8 the first CD i EVER got was the best of the chipmunks
its was one of thoses simpsons soundtracks, then later that day it was led zeppelin 4 from my uncle, it was christmas.
I believe it was -Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band- which i had saved up for on my 2 quid a week pocket money for a month to get the CD! i was 6 and was attracted to the cover... The first album i heard was -Out Of The Blue- by ELO, and thats probably my number one album.
the first CD I bought myself was Derek and the Dominos- Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. I was...11 I think. My First Vinyl was....I think actually I bought three at the same time. George Harrison's "Living in the Material World", The Beatles "Hey Jude", and Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" ~Layla
I'm not entirely sure what it was, but it may have been Metallica's Black Album, or The Smashing Pumpkins' Adore.
I don't have a bloody clue, but it was probably something classical, as that's all I was into when I was really young...long before I discovered the joys of folksong and acid rock, I was die-hard Beethoven and Mozart.
