The first album i've bought with my money (oh well, with my mother's money) was a Michael Jackson bootleg cassette. It was some kind of bootleg single with xeroxed covers and typewrittered fictional tracklist. In fact it was just one song repeated for 30 minutes on one side and another repetead for 30 minutes on second side. I remember i was very dissapointed.
The second one was a bootleg copy cassette of Queen's Innuendo which i've bought as a replacement of Dr. Alban's
Look Who's Talking which i've never found (Thank God
). I still have the cover from this cassette. It was a RACKS blank (a very common cassette brand name those days in my country), with hand-written songs (how could i have payed for something like that :| )
The next one i remember (i still have it) was Megadeth's Countdown To Extinction. It was some kind of x-mas present. Some relative (my aunt as far as i remember) gave me and my brother money to buy some cassettes from the local store as a x-mas gift. I bought Megadeth's album (cause i liked the cover) and my brother bought Metallica's Black Album (which by the way, had a red cover, with a metallica picture glued on it)
After that, because i really liked Metallica's album and i couldn't find any other Megadeath album i've bought Metallica's ...And Justice For All (which i've enjoyed for a long time). Sadly i don't have the cassette no more...
In 1994 my father taped for me Nirvana's Unplugged performance, at the end of a Basic Instinct VHS tape. I still have the VHS, but my VHS player gone in flames and i haven't replaced it. After that i've bought Nirvana's In Utero on cassette which i've recorded Nevermind over, cause my father bought me from Tokyo other more good-looking version.
