Your First Music Album (Record/Tape/CD/MP3) Purchase
Not interested in singles! What was the first album you bought (fill in for the appropriate media, of course)?
The first album on CD I ever bought was the 2-disc Delicate Sound Of Thunder Live CD by Pink Floyd from 1988. I still have it (as well as the first CD player I owned). I probably haven't played it in 5 years (not counting rips to various computers I've owned).
(Edit: Hope this is okay here, given the music topic!)

Classic Queen on CD when Wayne's World came out, so that would be sometime in 1992. I also picked up Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion I by Guns n' Roses at the same time, they all still get regular play on my stereo system.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

First cassette tape I bought was Metallica's ...And Justice For All when it released in 1988. First CD I bought was either the Wayne's World soundtrack or Monty Python Sings, can't remember which.

My first ever album purchase was The Blue Album, by Weezer... about two months ago.
Sad, I know. Damn good album though.

Zeppelin's fourth album was given to me, but the first album I purchased for myself was Rainbow's Long Live Rock 'n' Roll.

Joint purchases also count :
Grieg: Peer Gynt or "Classic Beethoven" on cassete tape. I was just a baby (I remembered it from the crib), I think I was around 5-6 I think so, 1993 give or take.

The Fat of the Land by The Prodigy. Still one of the best albums ever made, in my opinion.

Re: Your First Music Album (Record/Tape/CD/MP3) Purchase
First CD: I think it was Queen: It's a Kind of Magic. I might have purchased another CD at the same time but I don't remember what it was. I'd just got a component CD player for my birthday and high school graduation. Up until that time no one in my house had had a CD player. It still sounds better than all the super cheap crap that's out these days.
First cassette for myself: The soundtrack for Conan the Barbarian. I couldn't find it on CD for ages.
Normally in my house we'd by the vinyl record and then record that to cassette for general use. Then when the tape wore out or got eaten in the tape player we'd just record it again. Plus it helped save wear and tear on the records. I wore grooves in Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band because I played it so often when I was a kid.

Many albums were purchased for me when I was younger by friends and family but the first album I actually bought was TOOL's "Lateralus".

Re: Your First Music Album (Record/Tape/CD/MP3) Purchase
First tape: Monsters of Rap or something like that
First CD: I want to say Tool's AEnema, but it might have been Pink Floyd's Division Bell, or something completely different. i got into the CD thing real late and went on a massive buying spree after i got my first CD player

First CD: I bought Ozzmosis and We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll on the same day.
First Cassette: Likely the music from Carl Sagan's series Cosmos or Holst's The Planets, it was quite a while ago.

The first album bought for me was Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails on tape, the first album i bought for myself was Different Class by Pulp on CD. I still listen to it regularly though only because I ripped it on to my iPod.

Re: Your First Music Album (Record/Tape/CD/MP3) Purchase
Honestly, I can't remember my first album purchase. However, I am positive it was on vinyl as I pre-date the CD by considerable years and it may have even been before cassette tapes were a common item (never bought many of those anyhow).

Re: Your First Music Album (Record/Tape/CD/MP3) Purchase
Yeah. I still listen to a couple tracks to this day. 'Be Careful (Cuidado Con Mi Corazón)' with Madonna is one of my favourite songs, and the '98 World Cup song, Cup of Life, was a favourite back in the day.
Shortly after, I bought almost all of 2Pac's discography. I finally completed it (excluding the recent releases because they suck, but I still have that horrible Loyal to the Game album) recently when I picked up 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z. with a gift card from my birthday for HMV. First discography I started, last one (for now) I finished.

Crossing the Rubicon by The Sounds. Bought and downloaded it 10th June 2009. It's the only album I've bought. Ever. I own two other albums: Pulp Fiction Soundtrack and some CD with a bunch of sci-fi themes and tunes, performed by the Boston Pops and John Williams.
