The album Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs that featured three of the founding members of the band Toto, most notably, the late great drummer Jeff Porcaro. Still today, the best album I've ever purchased.

Very first album I bought was Yes' 'Fragile (1971) in 1972. Very first 45 I bought with my own money (I received a few as gifts) was Don McLean's 'American Pie' (1972), the version with the full song in two parts.

Can't remember what my first cassette and 8-track and CD were.

As I recall it was Big Rock Candy Mountain probably by Burl Ives. 1960 or something and I was a kid. Into Beach Boys, The Cowsills, Lovin' Spoonful and then on from there. My sister was oldest and was folk music, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, etc.
