FIRST cast recording you ever bought or was given?

The first cast recording I ever received was given to me by my Mom, it was in the
form of an L.P. record ..... it was the original cast album of

" MY FAIR LADY " I played it to death, and sang every song - - they of course
were all hits. How I LOVED it.

Les Miserables original London cast summer of 1987. I memorized every note and it launched my interest in musical theatre.

Mine was a copy of "The Secret Garden". I still listen to it to this day, and I got it over 15 years ago.

---

I was in 4th grade, and my parents had just seen Mamma Mia in San Francisco.

I have never felt so old in my life.

---

In 1994, I chanced upon the Phantom OLCR on the cd rack. I think I was seven.

---

I remember finding the cassetes of A Chorus Line and Applause in my folks' collection. I can't recall which I heard first, but my life has never been the same since.

---

It wasn't the Broadway recording but the movie of THE KING AND I.
The first broadway cast recording was FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. All the girls in my circle of friends in high school had a copy of it. I remember we sang songs from it at one of our pajama parties.

cassette tape of Once On This Island. I listened to it so much I wore it out and begged my parents to buy me another one.

Jerry's Girls

That sounds like MY childhood! (We also used to... attempt... the choreography to CATS.)

First I ever received was a record of The Sound of Music.
First I ever bought was the OBC of Parade.
First musical song I ever "bought" (alright downloaded) was "What you Own" from Rent. Or "Living in America" as I thought it to be titled. I was in the airport waiting on a long layover with my troupe coming home from the Thespian Conference. My friends Saum and Sarah started singing that and I had no idea what Rent was. Soon after I fell in love with it.

And just because this I definitely remember:
First CD I ever bought (and it was also the day I got my first portable CD Player) was the soundtrack to Can't Hardly Wait. It's a pretty specific era, but that soundtrack and that movie are simply delightful. I mean, Mr. Jennie Garth and Ms. Love Hewitt as the 'It' Couple gone bad? Marvelous. Plus it features pretty much every actor working today.

Sorry for the tangent. Just got me thinking.

The Wizard of Oz, MSG Cast, when I was 7 or 8.

But the one that got me into theatre was Les Mis, the CSR.

My very first was the soundtrack of "Grease" the movie. The first cast recording that I bought was "Chess."
