Thought it might be an interesting comparison !

For me,


First Record : Shakin Stevens - This Ole House

First CD : REM - Out of Time

First MP3 : Intergalactic - Beastie Boys

 

First record: London Calling - The Clash

First CD: Oasis: What's The Story Morning Glory (as by the time this came out Naim had made a CD player capable of making a CD sound nearly as good as vinyl )

First MP3: Don't do MP3 - quality is pants

 

First Record - Adam & The Ants - Stand & Deliver

First CD - Iron Maiden - Killers

First MP3 - Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod

Well done to owning up to buying a Shaking Stevens record, that must've taken some *****

 

What's a record?

 

What about the trusty old cassette?

 

Thought they were just for taping the charts off the radio

First Record - Cool for cats - Squeeze
First CD - Texas - Southside
First MP3 - Black hole sun - Soundgarden (I think)

First cassette - The muppet show

 

First 78 - Slim Whitman - Rose Marie

First Record - Slim Whitman - Indian Love Call

Whats a CD and MP3?

 

1st Single - The skids. Into the valley (and no its not welsh )

1st CD - dunno just nicked my sisters


1st mp3 - Oasis . What's the story with that tent in the duvet ?

 

Being an 80's child, I never had the privilidge of owning a record player

However:

First Tape: Born in the USA - Burce Springsteen (or maybe Making Movies - Dire Starits) Christ

First CD of my own: Metallica - Metallica (although first CD in the house was Michael Jackson - Bad, but I didn't buy it).

First MP3: Tricky this; legal or p2p'd? May have been Sneaker pimps, or Zero 7.

 

Me too!!!!

first cd - the Cure - Show

first mp3 - no idea, copied all my cds to mp3 before I started dl/buying any.

 

First Single (Bought by my mother for me) : Save all your Kisses for me: Brotherhood of man
First Single (Bought by me): One in ten : UB40
First Album: King of the Wild Frontier: Adam and the Ants
First CD - Deep Heat 89
First MP3 - No Idea.

 

Great difficulty in remembering - or perhaps it's just selective memory because I'm cringing at the thought of telling you what my first cassette was (I too was a child of the 80s! )

First Cassette: Doop by Doop *vom*
First CD: Oasis - Defnitely Maybe
First MP3: I think it was Al Green - Lets Stay Together

 

Cassette - ACDC Back in Black
Record - Let's get it up (Single) ACDC

First Record : TRex, Hot Love
First CD : Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms
First MP3 : Shapeshifters, Lola's theme

 

Record: Blondie - Atomic
CD: Fleetwood Mac - Rumours or Robert Cray - Bad Influence

first CD - Thomas Dolby - The Flat Earth (i was a bit of a hi-fi anorak)
first mp3 - Jimi Hendrix - The wind cried mary
first tape - the Rubettes - Wear it's At !!!! - dont ask... just dont!!!

 

Pete, have you heard the UB40/808 State version of 1 in 10, its great !

As if by magic,

YouTube - UB40 & 808 State - One In Ten

 

I love that record, don't know why, also Rednex, "Cotton Eye Joe" (I so fancy the woman in the video), Adelweiss and any slightly novelty dance records, Doop was actually quite a clever dance "remix" of the Charleston from the 1920's.

First 33 rpm Album: Status Quo - 12 Gold Bars

First Video: (Betamax) Convoy (VHS) Pirate of ET
