What was the first piece of music (tape, CD, album, 8 track, etc) you bought with your own money?

Today's QotD was inspired by Rapper Chris Kelly Dies, 'Jump' Was Hit For Duo Kris Kross, written by Mark Memmot on NPR.org.

I am pretty sure it was Tom Cochrane's Mad Mad World cassette tape (with the single, "Life is a Highway").

Digital Underground - Sex Packets

I was all about the Humpty Dance

Scratch that, it was actually the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie soundtrack on cassette tape. That came out earlier than Tom Conchrane.

My memory is fading! It must be all the heroin.

I'm thinking it was New Kids on the Block. However, my first memory of listening to a tape was Bon Jovi -Slippery When Wet. I listened to that a lot! it must have been my brothers...

I don't remember if it was with my own money, but Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet on tape was my first purchase.

Album: Thriller

Tape: Something by Deep Purple and some kind of RAP collection, with RAP in all caps.

You people make me feel old. I'm sure it was a K-Tel record (33) with the likes of KC and the Sunshine Band and Rose Royce. Possibly The Knack on LP or Bat Out of Hell on 8-track.

First tape was Busta Move by Young M.C. My first CDs were purchased at the same time and were Spin Doctors and Kriss Kross.
