I think it was Frampton coming alive or something.

But I'm old, and that was a lot of beers ago.

It's still great music.

Vinyl? The Star Wars Soundtrack... until then, I only bought 45s and listened to what Dad had on LPs.

First cassette album that wasn't a compilation from K-TEL? The Heavy Metal Soundtrack.

First CD? Eagles: Live (Only because Heavy Metal wasn't available on CD until years later.)

In all of the cases above, I had won or been gifted others but those are te first ones I spent my own money on.

Cassette tape: Michael Jackson - "Off the Wall" (back when he was black).

First CDs: AC/DC Back in Black, Mozart - Requiem ... I made the lady at the counter ring up AC/DC first so I could say it was my first CD.

Quite a few 45's first, Paul Revere and the Raiders comes to mind along with a few Monkey's as well. Then Black Sabbath volume 4 Alice Cooper Schools out in no particular order. Early 70's I believe.

GnR- Appetite For Destruction
Faith No More- The Real Thing
Motley Crue- Dr. Feelgood
Poison- Flesh and Blood.

It was either Colombia House or BMG Records...my GF at the time got me hooked.

Pretty sure it was this one

Edit to add:
Glass Harp was pretty big in the early 70's, and local to Northern Ohio.

Way back when, brother arranged for them to be the band at our local high school prom for 500 bucks.
The school was so afraid of the school being overrun by fans, they rejected the idea.
