If only we could travel back in time, shrink-wrap our childhoods – the goods at least – and bring them back to the present…no more money worries.

Great question!

First Tape was hilariously Billy Joel’s “River of Dreams”

First Vinyl was a gift from my mom The Doors “LA Woman”

First CD was Phish “A Live One”

I got Eat a Peach on vinyl a long time ago. I spent many nights listening to that.

My friend also had a big house way in the woods with a beautiful stereo system and we would blast Terrapin Station on that thing.

I still have both those records but I think they are still in the states. Recently got 95 NYE by Phish which is a fantastic record although most of my music is digital now.

Wow… I just remembered that one day, while walking to school through the back path (over a stream) I found a cassette on the ground (not in a case.) It was Stars on 45 it still played fine. I learned about the Beatles from that megamix :smiley:

Oops, just realised first vinyl record is a 78 rpm. Doesn’t qualify as an LP.

An Abba cassette. Not sure which album.

The first single was a few years before that, King of the Cops by Billy Howard.
