Vinyl was my first purchase of anything on my own. Well really a Christmas gift I asked for. Kiss Alive 2.
Don't really recall what the cassette was? As for cd's I didn't get my first cd player until first job after college, 1988. I took a hot impressionable chick with me and dropped $300 on a ton of cd's. Start with a bang in a few different ways.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

oh wow i can't be arsed to remember what the first of each specific format was... but the first CDs i ever owned were mc hammer: please hammer don't hurt 'em and the simpsons sing the blues. then i think that next christmas my uncle got me def leppard photograph and hysteria, and that was the extent of my cd collection for quite awhile.

then around freshman-sophomore year of HS an old friend came back from CCA (creative children's academy or something.... he was getting the shit kicked out of him with alarming regularity back in 6th grade, aka the wild wild west (when the future-high-school-caste-system was starting to form and the kids got more aggressive trying to prove themselves in the wake of being surrounded by 7th and 8th graders) so his parents got him the fuck out of junior high and into a priv8 school until high school rolled around. when he came back he had a flannel, nirvana shirt, and kobainesque ratty hair and whatnot.... so i nicked his style and started getting into nirvana, buying CDs of that all the way up to live bootlegs that one older chick totally pimpslapped me for b4 she was going off to college ("let me borrow them and make tapes" --- never talks to me again, even nowadays when i found her on facebook and wrote a letter basically saying "you know, you were a real twisted demented bitch who in retrospect made me feel like a total piece of shit for getting played so easily.... so while i'm not going to mount an offensive to try and get my CDs back, i just want you to know that i hope you end up with retarded children someday or some sort of karma that makes up for your bichitude" --- "uhhh look i'm not krystal it's kind of funny that i have the same last name as her cuz i married her brother" --- yeah.)

ahem. yeah i know. not exactly my proudest moment when you stop and consider it's the 2nd or 3rd person from back in the day i've caught up with and wished retarded children upon. but i have a pretty good feeling that i'm pretty hardwired into the fabric of reality so some sort of karma shall befall them in the future, tho hopefully not as egregious as the retarded children.

oh yeah to finish up my musical story.... said friend eventually started getting into techno, so i did as well. then one day he went to 2nd hand tunes on clark street and got a copy of aphex twin's analogue bubblebath IV, which has the song cuckoo on it. suffice to say that song changed my life and technically everything started from there, cuz from that point on i was like "i need more music by this aphex twin guy" and next thing you know i was on the path to getting my hands on everything he ever made, and from there i branched out into my own often-mocked/never-imitated style which has served me well to this day and will provide the foundation for (hopefully) a truly awesome future.

First cassette was Zenyatta Mondatta by The Police
First CD was In My Tribe by 10,000 Mechanics ( pardon my Jim Shorts if you will)

Good thread topic.

First vinyl was Lionel Richie's 'Say You Say Me' on a 45 that I played on my little Fisher Price record player as a kid. I had others (mainly from my parents), but this was one of the only ones I can remember.
I also had some terrible Water Payton song that was on some flimsy 45 from KFC. I remember this only because I got grease from the chicken on the record and the song would only play about halfway thru. I don't remember which record I purchased first, but it was likely a Pearl Jam or a Zeppelin record on Ebay.

First cassette was Pear Jam's Ten. Got it for Christmas when I was in second grade. I still have the original tape and played it in my old car which had a tape deck.

First CDs I got when I was in eighth grade; Bush- Sixteen Stone, Nirvana- Nevermind, Oasis- Definitely Maybe. The next day I got the Dazed & Confused movie soundtrack.
