http://www.indy.com/posts/7212 en-us Victory33 Vinyl: Star Wars Motion Picture with narration and vocals from the film, I remember getting that from a goodwill in Ventura, CA way back when I lived out there. CD: Weird Al Yankovic - "The Food Album" - Odd first CD for me to buy. Cassette: I honestly don't remember...but I remember recording stuff off the radio way back when and making my own mixtapes before I bought any CD's. SWV - "It's about time" in 1991 is my earliest tape memory, but I'm sure I owned some before that.

Soon after I had the cheap knockoff version of Michael Jackson's red leather jacket from the "Beat It" video--the one with the zippers all over it. I also bought Culture Club's "Colour By Numbers" (also an LP) at a yard sale, and I distinctly remember begging my grandmother for the Jackson's "Victory" album as well. I don't really remember my first CD.

It was a 45. I don't remember my first cassette, but I do remember my first CD. It was the Malcom X soundtrack, which remains a pretty spectacular collection of songs.
