That's tough to remember....I think it was Revolver by the Beatles on cassette or If I could only remember my name by David Crosby....the David Crosby cassette I still have to this day and it still works amazingly.

We had a few out here in LA and one in Vegas, where I'd go a lot when I was in college. Loved that spot. I spent a lot on music back in the day, so I'd be at Tower or Virgin all the time listening to new CDs on their little stations.
 
We bought 45 records growing up and eventually my sister started buying records.....I started my record purchasing with cassettes...my sister had the records already...in the 60s music was sold at furniture stores because record players were also coffee tables back then. You could buy a record and choose mono or stereo as well...my sister joined a record club and had them arrive in the mail. I remember when she bought Disraeli Gears by Cream....I was fascinated with that record as well as Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits vol II

When I was a young teenager we used to go to the record store, pick out a record and test it in a booth. Were too poor to buy so we just pretended to be interested in buying so we could listen to the music for free. My favorites were mostly 33 1/3s by the Kingston Trio and the Limeliters with Glen Yarborough.
I could afford 45s which I played endlessly, mostly The Beatles but a lot of other pop music. One of my favorite 33 1/3 collections was mom's Beethoven symphonies which I still have.

Deep Purple - Machine Head. 8-track.

Dude! Same on BDP. And Erik b and rakeem- money. Bought all three( see below) at once at the new skate board and cd shop that opened up near me.

and so i have to admit- dj jazzy jeff and the fresh prince was the third….lol

oh and my uncle gave me his 8track to the star wars movie theme. I actually loved that as a kid.
 
First cassette(s) because I bought them at the same time....
The Edgar Winter Group - They Only Come Out At Night
The Doobie Brothers - Toulouse Street

First CD(s) also because I bought them at the same time (Costco)
Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings
Dire Straits - On Every Street

The first 8 tracks I actually owned were bootlegs of The Beach Boys, Curtis Mayfield, etc, etc that I bought in the then ubiquitous head shops that used to line Broadway in San Diego in the early '70's. You get what you pay for.......

BTW, I don't know why this came to mind, but I used to work at a printing company in Tigard with Lynn Easton R.I.P.), drummer for the Kingsmen, who, for whatever reason, belted out an F-bomb on their recording of Louie Louie. He wasn't directly mic'd, but it can be heard in the background. It gave him quite the notoriety.

First CD I ever owned was an early Jay Z album. I remember having to hide it from my parents.

I bought it the first day it came out. I loved his Cameo from the Nutty Professor album. Put it on at work at sbarros Washington Square and was bumping it in the back
 
Cassette: John Cougar Mellencamp - Scarecrow (stolen from UCD at a tender age of 3 or 4 for my Fisher-Price cassette player).

Followed shortly thereafter by a burned cassette: Tom Petty on one side, The Byrds on the other; and the Cocktail soundtrack (which also came with a new, compact Sony boom box for my bday).

I believe both the Kingsmen and Paul Revere and the Raiders were from Portland. The Raiders played at our senior prom.
