Feel a bit like Google.

I notice no one has named their first purchase of music as a download, so no real young'uns.

Still buying , from new releases , re issues and crate digging at the record fair. , even discogs. Slowly replacing stuff I had on cassette, gave away when I moved here , or stuff I always wanted. For those interested record store day is on April 21 this year. Support your local dealer.

Not so quick

I was using Napster, Kazaa and Morpheous on a dial-up connection to burn mix CD's back in high school.
Before that, I'd been known to hover around the radio to record the good songs on cassette.
Not paid for; not applicable.

The first record I bought was the LP "The Buddy Holly Story",.....cost me two pounds twelve shillings & sixpence, I still have the LP, and several other LPs from that era, Cliff Richard, The Shadows, several Beach Boys LPs focusing on cars, Little Deuce Coupe, 409 etc!

Saw them live in 76 at Festering Hall, tickets were $6.90.

We didn't have a record player in the house and I didn't start collecting Vinyl until I moved out of home and bought my own stereo. I was given a cassette player for Christmas 1974 along with a couple of fairly ordinary cassettes reflecting my parents musical non - interest. I quickly rectified this by Purchasing "Quatro" by Suzie Quatro.

My first Vinyl was "Pleasure Victim" by Berlin and Madonna's first album purchased whist at block release TAFE in Newcastle.

Tote
