Fabricus Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Did you ever buy a single? I did, but back then they were mostly known as 45s. The first single I bought was by an American from Detroit, Suzi Quatro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan42 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yeah I remember. The first piece of music I bought was a cassette of the OST to The Lion King. The first "proper" album I bought was "Americana" by the Offspring. The first CD, and last album, I bought was from "Rammstein". Since the 2000's I have pirated all of my music.
