MY FIRST CASSETTE, what's yours?

[tartanterrier]

I think mines was Ugly *** Joe's (As ugly as they wanna be) back in '91. Although there was only one half decent song in that album which was in Wayne's World.

I used to always buy the album and then copy it to tape but I think the first cassette I bought was probably the first ASIA. Actually, I think it might have been a Christmas present to go with the boom box I got that year.

Had bought a couple of LPs before I bought a cassette, but my first cassette was Kiss "Dressed to ****."

It took me a bit of thought.... for most of my time using tapes, it was copies of other people's music or music borrowed from the library (honestly), or mix tapes / copies of LPs that ***** made for me. I only had a brief amount of time buying genuine tape albums before my folks bought me a CD player, although I still bought some albums on tape for use in the Walkman at college until I FINALLY upgraded my portable music to a Discman.

But I'd probably say.....

My taste in music when I was buying cassettes was average to pretty ordinary.....various artists or Aussie rock or gasp....Bon Jovi

Bingo. I had most of their stuff copied but I reckon there is a good chance one of their tapes was my first "official" tape purchase. In fact I have a weird feeling I might have picked up the then-new "These Days" even before I bought "Cross Road" since I already had a copy of their biggest hits on various tapes as well as my favourite album tracks from "Slippery When Wet", "New Jersey" and "Keep The Faith."

Fairly sure my last tape was Bon Jovi too as my best mate bought me "Crush" as an 18th birthday present on tape.

Whitesnake - Self Titled from 1987 and Def Leppard - Hysteria were the first two Cassette Tapes I bought with my own money in the spring of 1989.

Awesome.

(Ninja Turtles soundtrack)

Awesome.

Awesome.

Actually..... there is a chance it was the Mario Brothers soundtrack. I loved Roxette, for my sins.

I never bought cassettes - always vinyl. The reason being I could tape a vinyl lp but couldn't do the reverse of that. So I always bought the vinyl and taped it.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

How are you people remembering? I saw this thread when it first came up and I'm drawing a complete blank.

Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers. If it wasn't the first, it was one of them, and the one that meant the most to me. As mentioned, I bought LPs and transfered them over to tape.

Yeah, same here...I don't think I bought a cassette until I already had a hundred that I made. I sure as hell can't remember the first album I bought.

My first CD was Pink Floyd-*******, though.

Faith No More - The Real Thing.
