| First 45 I ever bought was "Shad-up a' ya' face" by Joe Dolce. The first 33 I bought was Chipmunk Punk.
I honestly can't recall the first CD I bought.

| Jimmy 'Handyman' jones - Good Timin'
Updated on 3/2/2008 4:19:52 PM ... Or it might have been Jackie Wilson - I'll Be Satisfied - those were definitely the first 2, but after nearly 50 years the order eludes me.

| The first 45 I bought was "They're coming to take me away Ha-Haaa! by Napoleon XIV.
Here are the lyrics...
Remember when you ran away and
I got on my knees and begged you
Not to leave because I'd go berserk? Well,
You left me anyhow and then the
Days got worse and worse and now you
See I've gone completely out of my mind. And,
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho ho, he he, ha ha,
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young
Men in their clean white coats and
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!
You thought it was a joke and so you
Laughed, you laughed! When I had said that
Losing you would make me flip my lid - right?
You know you laughed, I heard you laugh,
You laughed, you laughed and laughed, and then you
Left, but now you know I'm utterly mad. And,
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho ho, he he , ha ha,
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!
I cooked your food, I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind, unselfish loving deeds? Huh?
Well, you just wait--they'll find you yet
And when they do they'll put you in the
ASPCA you mangy mutt! And,
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho ho, he he, ha ha,
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young
Men in their clean white coats and
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young
Men in their clean white coats and
They're coming to take me away!
(I was seven years old...)
The first album I bought was The White Album by the Beatles. (I was nine, I had progressed a lot in two years.)
The first CD I bought was Dark side of the moon by Pink Floyd as I was curious as to whether it would sound different on CD.
I was very late getting on the CD band wagon. I had (have) over 600 albums and couldn't see the point of buying CDs.
Someone owed me money for a while and offered to give me their CD player in payment. (It was a total piece of crap.) I bought the CD on the way home and ended up going out and buying a proper CD player right away. I have well over a thousand CDs now.

| L.P. stands for long playing. The term was introduced when
33 1/3 albums were introduced replacing 78s.
