The First Record/CD I Ever Bought Was ...

**OldJeff** · 11-09-2007, 03:34 AM

First was Alice Cooper - Muscle Of Love, second was Kiss - Alive - I was 11

Was a very short time after that I discovered Columbia House Tape Club, filled it out and got a ton of stuff for a penny (you still had to tape the penny to the postcard).

They backed down on the bills they kept sending to an 11 year old, figured they could not collect.

I remember buying it, getting it home, and rocking out playing it OVER and OVER for hours....

The Knack - "My Sharona"

I still like it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXVitkINDp0

45rpm 7" single on vinyl.

KISS, "Sure Know Something".

I think I was 10 or 11.

Wow, that's strange that Kiss "Sure Know Something" was your first because Kiss "Dynasty" was my first ever LP.

My first ever cd was Mass "Voices In The Night", they're a hard rock band produced by Michael Sweet (Stryper).

Madonna "Like a Virgin" on vinyl. And I still have it

**Nikki_Licks** · 11-09-2007, 08:24 AM

Mine was a 45 vinyl and the artist was "Chubby Checker" The Twist. I got that record about a week after it came out.
I guess my parents loved to see me do the twist during those days.
And shortly after I got "Elvis Presley" Hound Dog.

There is an article about the twist trend in Novembers Vanity Fair: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/fe.../wolcott200711

My first album purchase (cassette tape):

In retrospect, these were both very bad ideas.
