I THINK mine was this (when I would have been around 9 or 10), purchased at our local W.T. Grant Co. store for (about) $3.98: More Of The Monkees (Released: 1/9/1967)  What was yours.......or, if like me you're not sure, what was the first album you DO remember buying with your own money ??  SAVE FERRIS

I think i bought something that came out, in the 90's. and it came out right before i bought it.
I don't know what it was, maybe something that sucked. But i thought it was good at the time.

Don't recall. I got my mom to buy me Rubber Soul (US) when I was 11 and only had 45s.

It's hard to remember accurately. I'd been buying '45 singles as a child in the 'Golden Oldies' series by saving up my weekly pocket money. Reissued singles from the 1960s by bands like Gerry And The Pacemakers, Freddie And The Dreamers, the Swingin' Blue Jeans, Billy J Kramer And The Dakotas etc. which were now quite cheap as I was a kid in the 1980s.
I think I bought my first albums with my own pocket money, or money earned doing chores, when I'd just become a teenager, that's when I started buying my first films on VHS video too. Once I got my first proper job around the age of 16, I was able to start seriously building a collection. So, the ones I remember buying first are still my two favourite bands to this day, 'Surfer Rosa' by the Pixies and 'Throwing Muses' by Throwing Muses. I'd seen Pixies badges on an older students' bag at school and they just grabbed my attention. I'd never heard Throwing Muses but it was the name and the artwork, I just gambled and bought it, convinced it held something magical that I needed to hear. I was really nervous taking these 2 cassettes with me up to the counter - both of which were slashed in price as they were already years old - as my mother knew the guy in the record shop and there was a topless woman on the cover of 'Surfer Rosa' (with religious iconography). My life changed forever with the purchase of these 2 albums - I never looked back.

That one, along with Michael Jackson - Thriller and The Lion King (1994) Soundtrack, were my first 3 CD albums. But while it was my own money, it was actually my mum who picked them up, as the local music store where I lived, did not have the largest selection of records available, and she worked in Oslo, while I was busy being in school, so she would be handed a wishlist over 3 albums that I had saved up money for, and thankfully she provided the goods. I did own several copies of Thriller on Cassette Tape, but everyone got damaged over time, due to me overplaying them. The CD however, still after all these yars, works like it was brand new. So if I were to say exactly the first one, and with my own money. Well, I wished it would be any of the 3 above, but it was not. Instead it was this hip-hop/rap CD, which I got in 1993 (even before I had my own CD player) from a store called Max 10, where everything in the store more or less cost 10 (Norske Kroner), but sometimes it was not always correct. Which caused some feuds between the customers and the people behind the desk. Anyway, this is the one that cost me a whole "10 kroner": I still have it, not heard it since 1997 or 98, and I guess the only reason to why I keep it, is the memories, and not the music. :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-381952-1154450446.jpeg.jpg) I remember we all laughed hard, when we first heard it as kids. Because of all the ridiculous and over-the-top sex moanings, coming from females being sampled heavy and frequently, and yeah, later on I think I found out that this album is supposed to be some kind of a classic within the gangster rap genre, and I also noticed that several copies of the CD, went for ridiculous high prices.

 As you can see, this was one of the songs on it.
