I'm talking the first album you ever forked out your own cash for. Do you still have it? If it's quite old, I wonder how much it's worth money-wise as well as memory wise. Do you even still listen to it? Did you save up to buy it, or was it a by-chance purchase?

I remember the first album I bought (well, it was a tape) was Rick Astley. I think it either got chucked, or was recycled (cellotape over the little security tab holes) and made into a mix tape. I wonder whatever happened to him? I should have waited for something better. Definitely.

I still have my first albums that I payed for, they were records & they sit on my shelf & collect dust. I doubt they're worth anything since the local record store (called Zia) sells used vinyl for $2.

The Byrds Greatest Hits, still got it, probably not worth much, it's been well used. Don't listen to it anymore since I've upgraded to The Byrds Greatest Hits on CD. But being the packrat, I'll never get rid of it.

Beach Boys' Pet Sounds (mono/stereo) on CD. (Closely followed by Shania Twain. How's that for polarization?)

Still got it, still listen to it frequently (even more frequently now as I myself am striving to emulate Brian and write the world's most perfect album. Ever. I'll get to it).

As for Shania, "Come On Over", which incidentally has sold an incredible number of CDs over here, that wasn't mine originally and I got it as a gift from a friend. Still listen to it frequently.

(I know, I'm so young and foolish!)

Please don't be angry, but it was

N*Sync-No Strings Attached.

I was 8.......... I traded it in for Guns n' Roses Greatest Hits

You made the right choice...

Off Topic, but I didn't really like the songs they chose for that Greatest Hits album, they got most of the biggest hits, but there were lots of other good songs that could've been used. I didn't bother buying it though, since I already have all their studio recordings.

Since I no longer have it, it must have been one of the albums that got melted from playing outside in the sun.

It was Leapy Lees Little Arrows and it must of happened at the age of seven. Are You Experienced was among the many that warped. Black Sabbath, luckily, had not been formed yet.

I know how you feel, JR. I was devastated. ::

I still have my Power Station cassette and I'm thinking of dusting it off and listening to it again. If it breaks, I won't replace it, but I'll keep it as long as it plays.

I forgot what happened to it. Probably got lost in the shuffle when I moved to the US. Even though I can't recall what my very first CD is, I pretty much have every CD I ever bought with some exceptions that I am aware of.

Weird Al Yancovic....Bad Hair Day and Korn...Issues

I still have the Korn cd, though i dont listen to it...but as for the Weird Al cd, well, i got a new hammer one day and i needed to test it out on something...hehe. Sure, he was funny for awhile. But he kinda just died out for me.

It was "space Oddity" by David Bowie. I played it so much that the quality went downhill. I bought another copy and gave the original to my best friend. I wonder if he still owns it? I'll have to ask him if he remembers that from 30 years ago. :headphones:

Swapped for fishing tackle if I recall. Silly really as the biggest fish I used to catch were on my homemade bamboo pole, 'fly'-style line and size 18 hook. The fancy-Dan gear was no substitute for stealth and animal cunning.
