I’ll do one better. Pretty sure the first recording of any kind I bought was a 45 of Grand Funk Railroads “Locomotion “. That’s 1974. I was 11. Got it from that retail classic, TG&Y.

My first CD was Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited. It must have been about 1982 or 1983.
I saw a CD player playing classical music in a department store in San Antonio, TX while visiting my aunt.
I’d been reading about CDs in Rolling Stone magazine and begged my parents for a player and Santa delivered a Fisher single disc player and the Dylan CD for Christmas.
While I am a Dylan fan I bought that disc out of self defense because there weren’t many pop albums available on CD yet.
It all caught up fast, but my second cd was Bach because all I could find were classical CDs at that time.

My first 45 was CCR - Looking out my back door, 1970 I think. Also purchased at TG&Y - I borrowed a dollar from my brother to buy it.

It was a record. CD’s had another 20 years or so before being invented.
That album came out in 1980. Pre- CD for sure but not by much certainly not 20 years. The CD version of that album came out ten years later in 1990.

I was very early on the CD's. They were not easy to find and they were very expensive. These are the first 5 I bought.
I still have them. Bought in 1984-1985

I honestly cannot remember, and that annoys me.
It would have been in the late 80’s
so if I had to guess it was either something really amazing or completely aweful.
I’ll guess it was this
Amazing!!

Yep. Made it easy to flip through them at the record store when you could find some. I remember stopping at different record stores and them not having any CDs. Man the pickings when they had them was slim. I actually had a CD player in my car in my junior year of HS but it was a separate unit that connected to the head unit by RCA's. Mounted under the dash. At that point, there was no combo unit.
My first player at home was a Denon and it had the vertical load in the front
