Damn you guys are old. Big Grin

For the kids, you do know that "albums" still exist, right?

Nobody buys whole albums anymore. Do they.

Most recently, Samantha Fish: “Belle of the West”
and “Best of Eva Cassidy.”

I don’t always download whole albums, but if it’s an artist I really like, especially one that’s not a mega-star, I try to support their music by buying the whole album.

Why, you little whipper snapper...

I still buy my music on CDs. It was cassettes before that, and records before that. I'm also old enough to remember 8-track players.

I've done the iTunes thing for a little while, but I can't remember the last time I downloaded music. If I'm not listening to something on YouTube, it's either the radio or CD player in my car. Oh, and FYI, my car also has a cassette player.

If it is not the first, then the first that I can recall would be Armed Forces by Elvis Costello on cassette.

Technically not the album, I bought the 8-track.

If you really want to determine age, what medium was your first record?
78, 45, 33 1/3, 8 track, cassette, CD, etc.?

My son in law works at a Jeep/Dodge dealership, and he told me that the new vehicles now don't even have a CD option. Everything is Bluetooth or USB.

I just pre-ordered a new Brandi Carlisle album for my wife. She has a tremendous vinyl collection.

I had Rhinestone cowboy on a 45 when I was very young. Then I got an 8 track player when I was about 8 or 9. K-Tel Dimensions was probably the first tape/Record I had. Still remember listening Billy Squire over and over and overSmile Those were some very care free times that I will never experience again. I had the Cars and the Carpenters, on 8 track, shortly after that.

I think my first album (33 1/3) was the first Beatles album. Though it could also possibly have been the "Goldfinger" movie them album as I was a huge 007 fan as a young teen.

Either way...I have dated myself.

My brother gave it to me for my 11th birthday. "You like synth stuff. You'll like this."
