      cassette and CD and as someone reply. I would used blank cassettes to record songs from the radio. I never bought any of these because I like one or two songs. I had to like / love all of them or the majority. Just recently I got rid of them. And open a Pandora account.

          CDs. I got my first CD Player in 1985 and the first CD that came with it was WHAM! "Make it big" it was a gift someone had gotten me. I remember it well because I played them all the time. It was state of the art at the time and it sounded state of the art. It even sounded IMO better then music plays today. But thats just me You can tell its all based on the success of things. It wasn't such a huge success CD players back then. So it wasn't something everyone had, just my rich friends really.
          I remember cassettes back then. I bought my first one in 1989 along with my first tape cassette player. It was "Ghostbusters 2" soundtack. I remember it well because a trend called gossiping took off in my town where I live (small town) It was a small town. We use to use the tape cassette for own little jobs back then in our community it was a lot of fun. We were able to back then based on the system of air that talk shows had provided along with the "kayla rights"
          I bought my first vinyl in 1992 with my boyfriend I moved in with. I bought it at a high priced boutique. It came with a product I bought. It was Right said fred "I'm too sexy" LOL I laugh at how cheesy that song is now. I back then I thought it was so cool and use to give the silliest looks with it that most people would think are so dorky and lame and oh I laugh so hard at myself because I was one of those that smiled all the time and those were dirty looks and even then I would smile with my curvy body giving them all the time. Most people still get offended when I give them.

                Vinyl LP's until '87 when I got my first CD player. For my Walkman I would record onto blank cassettes from my LP's/Cd's.

                  I remember listening to my Walkman all day in 1989. I remember I had the Batman Soundtrack, Paula Abduls "Forever your girl" and The Teenwitch soundtrack at the time on tape
                  cassette. I loved it. I would listen to them all day in the corner of my room and just sit there.

                        I was born in 1982 I wasn't old enough to buy music. Yes in the 80s there was vinyl, cassette, and I remember these little round vinyl albums I had seen my older cousin with a couple in the late 80s.
