Hmm, when I started getting into music, I think Cyndi Lauper She's So Unusual. Before that, I had stuff like Star Wars (stories of + soundtracks), a couple of Abba cassettes ...

1st 45 was "the Monster Mash"

1st rock lp I bought on my own was Billy Joel "52nd Street". Yeah, I know, Billy Joel, but I still listen to it fondly as it reminds me of being 13 and geeky as hell.

1st new wave lp was the Police debut.

The first lp I got... : "Frampton Comes Alive" given away at a Phoenix Roadrunners vs. Minnesota Fighting Saints Hockey game, the Fighting Saints had the Carlson Brothers [}:)](?) (Hanson Brothers from Slap Shot fame) and they held true to their name, Gordie Gallant, their "enforcer" came over the bench into the stands after someone poured a beer on him. I was in the 7th or 8th row and remember running up the aisle with that record clutched in my hands[:0] (I was only 12, scared for my life! I never listened to it, ever! I gave it to my sister, or who knows, I might have gone down a completely different musical path![;)] )

It was nearly 8 years later I bought a cassette tape of some Devo live with "Be Stiff" and the first lp was Devo's Q. Are We Not Men[8D]. I didn't even own a record or tape when I went to college!

<br>The first full length album I ever owned was "Snoopy Versus The Red Baron." I got that back in 1972.

The first LP I ever bought with my own cash was 'First Issue' by Public Image LTD.
