OT First Cassette Tape and CD you owned

[ABM]

The cassette era brought me into jazz: Spyro Gyra, Grover Washington Jr., George Benson, Joe Sample, David Sanborn.....just to name a few.

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 know you’re not supposed to quote your own post and respond, but fun fact about that little Sony boom box/radio: as a big Duke fan, I was outside shooting hoops, hanging with UCD and a couple neighbors when Laettner hit “the shot” heard on that little boom box.

Here's the best Dixieland jazz I've ever heard by a New Orleans group and Doctor John on vocals.

Never, ever understood the love for Pink Floyd.....or Queen for that matter. Maybe it's because my old navy roommate played that shit non stop. Whatever, it ain't rock and roll to me.......

My first was actually a Jim Croce greatest hits 8-track I bought from a garage sale when I was 8. Quality songs on that album.
