God, this dates me!

A 45 of "Little Willy".

Little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won't go, try tellin' everybody but, oh no
Little Willy, Willy won't go home

I grew up with cassets so I don't remember what my first one was, maybe Wizard of Oz.

My first CD was the soundtrack for Stephen Sommer's The Mummy. I actually had to buy a CD player to listen to it. lol I still listen to it a bit and enjoy it.

It was two 45's when I was 12 years old. I'm a believer by the Monkees and Ruby Tuesday/Let's spend the night together by the Mick Jagger and his crew. It was in 1966 about the time I watched Star Trek on Friday nights. I am so old.

I love that song! I was a real sucker for one-hit wonders back then, too bad I couldn't afford to buy the singles.

My very first music purchase came late in life (I was almost 14!) and was two 45's on the same day:

Jackson 5: ABC
Beatles: Let It Be

I still love 'em both. My mother has my shoebox full of about a hundred 45's somewhere in storage, but my sister got mad at me and took a nail file to 'em. Without getting punished. When I took a nail file to 6 of her albums, I got whupped. Still steamed about that.

I can't remember what I bought, but the first tapes I ever received I got at 10 years old (and at the same time...Christmas).

1. Debbie Gibson Out of the blue

2. Dirty Dancing Soundtrack (lol Hungryyyy Eyyyyes)

3. Journey's Greatest Hits

What were my parents trying to do to me? Of course, I still love Journey. And I listen to Debbie when I want to feel like a kid again.

I cannot remember the first cassette or vinyl...
I do know the collection involved GNR, Seventies rock, hair bands, and the Beast-ie Boys...

But, the first CD I bought was the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" single by Nirvana. the b sides were Aneurysm & Even In His Youth - both previously unreleased (at the time)...
