In my case it was "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" about 10 years ago. During those years I was obsessed with Oasis, so when I saw the album in a music store, I didn't hesitate to buy it.

At age 15, I got a job. Went to the stereo store in Green River, Wyoming and put an entire system on lay away. Brought it home one piece at a time...receiver, speakers, cassette deck, turntable. All good stuff. When I finally picked up the last piece, I stopped and bought this on vinyl...

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
...hooked it all up, and spent the next 3 days buried in the music of Jeff Lynne.
Those were a pretty fine three days.

Magical Mystery Tour by The Beatles
I still have it, too... I should check whether or not it's still playable. It should be, since I never did subject it to 500-degree blast oven conditions like I did with the Gary Numan albums.

My first ever album purchase is one of the following and all three were on cassette.
Tanya Tucker-What Do I Do With Me
Hal Ketchum-Past The Point Of Rescue
Travis Tritt-It's All About To Change
God bless you and Travis and Tanya always!!!
Holly (a girl who forever misses Hal)
P.S. I can't remember which one came first. I only remember that my purchase of Tanya's album was during the summer of 1991. I just now read that the album was released on July 2nd that year which was two days after my ninth birthday.

Discovery by Electric Light Orchestra
They were my first musical love. To find lesser known album tracks away from the greatest hits collection I was given prior was a joy. The runts of the litter hidden away on albums more often than not become the most cherished tracks.

For me it was actually last month I bought my first three records!
The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess - Chappell Roan
Disintegration - The Cure
Horses - Patti Smith
I don't actually have a record player yet hah, but I've used my brothers one so that's been good.

The Unforgettable Fire by U2
I was obsessed with U2 when I was a teenager....not so much anymore. Still, they had a string of amazing albums from War to Achtung Baby. This is my first record I bought and my favourite U2 album.

Standing In The Road by Blackfoot Sue 7' from a second hand box. I was 12 I didn't have enough spends for a current chart single which would have been about 50p UK money at the time but I was determined to leave with something and I guess I just liked the look of the label (because in the UK they didn't come in picture covers at that time). Bought it unheard but it turned out not to be a bad choice. Could have been a lot worse as first records go.
