I’m old enough to remember when records and 8-tracks were the choice you had in purchasing music for home (or auto) consumption. Not only that, but record players played LP’s and 45’s – and some even played 78’s, although I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen one of those outside of an antique shop. Cassette tapes were just beginning to come into their own when I started acquiring much of a music collection. I explained this all to my 11-year-old recently and she seemed astonished that music ever came on anything other than CDs and the computer. Damn, that made me feel old.
What was the first piece of music you bought with your very own money, and what format was it in?
