Man...I'm trying to remember things I had pre-CD (ack, I'm old)...I know I had The Music Man on tape, but that was the movie soundtrack...Chess, but that technically was a concept album...I think it might have been OBC Evita.

Gypsy with Ethel Merman. I believe I was 13.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being." --Phylicia Rashad

Gothampc, what is there to be ashamed about? Annie was my first and to this day I still listen to it every now and then. Still love NYC and your'e never fully dressed without a smile.

Loge-Nice to see another Aspects fan out there. That is one of my all time favorite musicals and my favorite of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

"Cats" when I was about 7 years old, and I fell head over heels in love with it.

The Lion King OBC. I think I was in 7th grade.
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Donnie Osmond back when I was in 4th grade.
I most definitely have issues with my word choices on this board.

Cats... and then I listened to it nonstop for months, and decided I was going to be in it when I was a big girl.

Les Miz when I was seven, it was my absolute favorite show and still is. After that was Ragtime.
"Because what is more like love than the ocean? You can play in it, drown in it. It can be clear and bright enough to hurt your eyes, or covered in fog; hidden behind a curve of road, and then suddenly there in full glory. Its waves come like breaths, in and out, in and out, body stretched to forever in its possibilities, and yet its heart lies deep, not fully knowable, inconceivably majestic."

my mom's vinyl included OBC Fantastiks, Soundtrack Music Man, and the 10,000 Strings instrumental music to Camelot, which she would sing along and just HAPPENED to know all the lyrics.

Back in those days, these albums were considered Pop music.

Not counting the JCS concept album (when I purchased no one considered the possiblity of mounting it onstage) I guess OBC Evita is the first 1 bought. Prior to that i had purchased Bells Are Ringing soundtrack, becuz OBC was not available in the 70s.

joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat. Wow the good ol days.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Didn't really buy my own. I just generally "discovered" them in my parents CD collection.

Started with Joseph in first grade, and then for my birthday I got Cats for my birthday that year, then I discovered the 'rents CD of Phantom (Canadian recording) sometime that year. And then along came Les Miserables in second grade.

And it all escalated from there.

I'm a Webber freak.

When I was 8 years old, I saved up my allowance to buy the movie soundtrack recording of "The Music Man," with Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. This was back when we had the big, flat, vinyl records with the grooves in them. re: What was the first cast recording you bought? I think it was about $7, but can't remember for certain. I'm sure I've still got it stashed away somewhere.

RENT I believe was my first purchase....ahh the start of my rise into an obsessive broadway fanatic. Good memories, good memories. :-P
