Beatles. Capitol 45 record: "I Wanna Hold Your Hand".

This, of course, makes me approximately 397 years old.

OMG! Same 45 for me! Flip side was "Saw Her Standing There."

First album was Beatles "Meet the Beatles" - wore that sucker OUT!

Boomtown Rats 'The Fine Art of Surfacing'. I loved 'I Don't Like Mondays'. it might have been ELO's Discovery though. One i bought new, the other from a friend and I can't remember which came first.

yes, they were vinyl, but i'm only 347 years old.

I had two older brothers so I seldom needed to buy any album or 45 until I was much older, say a teeager. But back in 1964 (I was 9) my mom bought me an album. I forget the name of the grouple, but underneath their name it said "with the BEETLE BEAT" Dudes looked like the beatles and sounded vaguely like the Beatles. My poor clueless mom was trying to buy me a Beatle album. God bless her! I miss ya mom! (been deceased since 1983)

I am pretty sure my first 8-track was an Elton John "best of" thing that was done when I was in grade school.

I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being
right.

Holy crap! It's been so long ago... I'd say, it's a toss-up between: a 45-RPM of Carl Perkins: "Blue Suede Shoes" or a 45-RPM of 4 Gospel songs by Elvis Presley. I bought them both with money froum my paper route.
I always thought, Elvis was a better Gospel singer.

I remembered another one- my dad brought home Joy to the World (Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog) for all of us kids! Funny- he really was more of a classical music kind of guy but he took me to my first concert and brought our first "rock" music home!

Album: "Fragile" by Yes

[Bolas 5]

My first 45 I remember buying was the Dukes of Hazzard theme song. I was a little annoyed the record didn't end with the "Yaaa Hooo!!!" like on the show.

I still remember the B-side was a song called "Come with me" by Waylon Jennings.

First record I remember listening to was "Happy Birthday Randy" it was one onf those paper thin ones you had to put pennies on and they said your name in the song. I was so impressed my parents made me a record.

Roll Over Beethoven. Which, of course, makes me 395 years old.

When I was 8 years old, my parents gave my brothers & me The Beatles "She Loves You" 45, and it was da bom. Some years later we got the "Magical Mystery Tour" LP for Xmas. With my own money, I bought "Cheap Thrills" by Janis Joplin when I was 12 years old. Saw her live about 8 months later, just that one time.

I had the "Ghostbusters" record (the single, by Ray Parker, Jr.), and the "Jump for my Love" single by the Pointer Sisters. I wore them both out.

Are you even old enough to have listened to those? I think I was in 4th grade when those were on the charts.

First 8-track: Dumb Ditties
First 45 - Ghost Stories
First cassette: Can't remember, but it was either a copy of Inner Sanctum (old time radio show), Pronounced by Skynard, the first Heuy Lewis Tape or No Jacket Required. Before that I just made mix tapes by placing a tape recorder up against a speaker and taking stuff off the radio.
First CD: (I refused to go CD's until college) Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Operation Mindcrime and Ride the Lightning all on the same day.
