What was the first album you ever bought?

[DeadSeaOfMercury 19,253]

CD:

Michael Jackson’s Number 1s - Became a fan after he died, I was Thrilled to find it!

If you don’t count compilations as albums, I found Thriller like a few months later.

I played them through my iDog.

Digital:

I thought I was being cool deciding to buy digital music from AmazonMP3 “I hadn’t become obsessed with CDs yet” & Had to blow some cash from first job, The first batch:

Aqua - Aquarium 

Aqua - Aquarius

Under My Skin - Compilation from Doro

1989 - Taylor Swift

 

Vinyl:

Well always seeing Vinyl inferior to CDs & Overpriced never really looked into it.

But then I saw Paradise, This EP from a singer I had been obsessed with for like a year - $16! So yeah. And Ordered Rebel Heart from eBay the next day “can’t remember which arrived first”

Thus was born a very expensive habit…

Cassette:

Either Prince’s Versace RSD or High As Hope - Can’t recall, Bigger fan of Vinyl & CD

 

How’d your musical hoarding start?

Discuss!

[prettywhenimhigh 48,476]

my first CD I got when I was 3 and it was the soundtrack of this soap opera for kids that was basically about this girl who was raised in an orphanage because her grandfather didn't accept that his daughter got pregnant by a poor man, so he built the orphanage to raise his granddaughter and hide the true background of her birth  

[BartenderDeco 19,402]

CD: 1989 Deluxe (Target Edition) - Taylor Swift

[TropicoKitten 4,926]

My first vinyl was the white edition of FROOT by Marina 

[Velours 1,312]

Pretty sure my first CD was A Little Bit Longer by the Jonas Brothers lol. My first vinyl was The Dark Side of the Moon 40th Anniversary Editon, it was a gift from my parents in high school.

[baddisease 15,880]

My first CD was Wu-Tang Forever by the Wu-Tang Clan

[viktoria 3,149]

cd - the fame by lady gaga 

lp - ultraviolence (deluxe) by lana del rey 

[Mash Tragic 3,924]

The very first CD I bought with my birthday money was Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad  I was so obsessed I had her haircut (the short, straight bob). 

 

The first vinyl I had was an old copy of either The Dreaming or Hounds of Love by Kate Bush. I both found them during garage sales but I don't remember which vinyl I got first, just that it was a Kate Bush one 

[Embach 21,151]

My first CD was Fergie's The Dutchess  I got it when I was like 6 years old, I was such a big Fergie stan then. Now the CD is probably broken because I played it non-stop then. I really loved the album back then but now I don't rememeber anything about that album, I only remember the famous singles lol 

 

I never had a vinyl though 

[Thunder Revenant 20,687]

I think my first CD was  Mika's Life in Cartoon Motion in 2007. He was big on German radio back then and I liked the singles, but I can't really remember listening to the album a lot. 

 

The first CD I bought with my own money was Lily Allen's It's not me, it's you in 2009 after seeing a BTS clip of the The Fear music video on MTV. That one I played a lot.

 

The first digital album I bought on Itunes when I got an Ipod for my birthday was Music For Man by Gossip in either 2009 or 2010.

I think they were the first band I ever really fanboyed and digital music made it possible to dive into their full back catalogue.

 

My first vinyl was Chelsea Wolfe's Hypnos/ Flame double single in 2016, the first LP was a blue pressing of Born To Die that got released in 2017. I bought both as collector items, I did not even have a record player back then 🙃

The first vinyl I actually bought when I finally got a player was Agnes Obel's Aventine.

 

The first - and only - music cassette I ever bought is Marina's venus-flytrap-green ADIAM.

[Lavender Sunshine 3,964]

I think my first "physical copy" was a cassette with a bunch of Green Day songs, mostly ripped from the album American Idiot 

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,230]

My first vinyl record was a 12 inch "Baby One More Time" single. I think I purchased it for myself, either on my birthday, or as an early birthday present
