The first record album I ever bought was… ahhh, hell I sure can’t remember. A reasonable guess would be either REO Speedwagon’s You Can Tune A Piano But You Can’t Tune A Fish, _or_ one of Ozzy’s first solo records ( with Randy Rhoads! Yeah! ) Blizzard Of Oz, or Diary Of A Madman. ---

The first album I bought with my own money was REO Speedwagon’s _High Infidelity_. ---

The Star Wars (Orchestra) Soundtrack (back before it was called _Episode 4: A New Hope_). ---

The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me I bought the cassette with money from my 10th birthday. I remember that it was really expensive because it was a double album (18 tracks). ---

The first non-compilation album I remember buying was most likely _So_ by Peter Gabriel… I think. ---

I’m not quite certain, but it was either Queen’s _The Game_, or the soundtrack to _Xanadu_. ---
