Vinyl - Adam Ant, Prince Charming (album)

CD - Elvis '68 Comeback Special

Download - wow, really, is that a pivotal moment that people remember? YOU, red devil, YES YOU, are singlehandedly responsible for HMV's demise.

I remember reading an interview with Alison Moyet when CDs first came out where she said she'd worked out the song order for her album, but hadn't realised that CDs didn't have b-sides. That's around about the time that red devil started to ruin music.

Vinyl - Abba Arrival (first single was Monster Mash, then followed by Bohemian Rhapsody)

CD - Pulp Different Class

Burned CD - can't remember, maybe Air Moon Safari, or Johny Cash American IV

Download - that's for my kids

Legal tape - Madness, Madness. (cheap Spanish version)

Illegal tape - maybe Armed Forces by Costello and the Attractions

Bootleg tape - Magazine live at Oxford New Theatre, 1977 (sound so poor unlistenable)

To broaden the discussion I can, but rarely do, play vinyl

I have a pile of tapes somewhere but never play them

I don't buy CDs of my vinyls

I lost Abba Arrival, but found a very similar copy in Greenwich Market.

> Cassette - I Just Can't Stop It - The Beat

Great album! I still have that on vinyl.

[PeckhamRose]

Vinyl, it was either Diana Ross Touch Me In The Morning or Osmonds The Plan

(I have about 15 yards of vinyl and still play them.)

8-track (bought in USA then brought it home realising I did not have a player) Bohemian Rhapsody

Cassette Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons - I think it was called Who Loves You, the album that made a single of every song on the album.

CD Patti Smith Horses, to replace the cassette which had been played to death.

DVD I think it may have been the film Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, with Tim Roth and Gary Oldman.

Download - first download I think was the film Secretary!

[Jah Lush]

Vinyl - I got She Loves You by The Beatles as a Xmas present in '63. First 45s I bought myself were Lola by The Kinks and Love Of The Common People by Nicky Thomas. Album: Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones.

Cassette - Only really bought them to record stuff. I still have loads as I used to love making compilation tapes for my friends and myself and I'd get given some pre-release stuff that record companies used to send out, most of which were bloody awful.

CD: Not sure. May have been something by Grace Jones or Lee "Scratch" Perry.

DVD: Haven't a clue. Possibly something musical or pornographic or both.

Download: Don't do 'em.

[Sue]

Vinyl - Everything's Alright - The Mojos. I think the second one was She Loves You - The Beatles. Then Where Did Our Love Go - The Supremes. Still got them somewhere .....

CD - Can't remember, probably something cheap from Woollies or somewhere. Dylan maybe. Can't remember my first cassette either.

Download - Jon Boden's A Folksong A Day project, whatever the first month was when he started it, can't be arsed to check :))

I don't normally download stuff but it was only available as a download.

ETA: Come to think of it my first download was probably off Limewire in the days before it was riddled with viruses and weird tracks.

[malumbu]

Now I am worried, as I used to drink with the Beat at the Compton Arms in Handsworth
