Use your illusion 1 and 2, 2 album set from Guns and Roses in cassette format. I think I was in 7th grade!

Funny story about my purchase... At the time my father was losing his battle with lung and kidney cancer during this time, and my 19 years old big brother had just moved out of the house, and wasn't speaking to our parents. I had saved up a whole bunch of change, and had told my parents I was sick and needed to stay home from school. My mom still worked as a teacher, so after she had gone to work, I called my brother on the phone and said "Dad wants you to come pick us up and drive us to the mall.". My brother took some convincing but agreed to drive over, we loaded my dad's power wheel chair into the trunk, and off we went to the mall. Our father was taking Percocet at this point, so he was a little loopy(seeing things, thinking he was in the past) so he didn't say anything, just got into the car when I said we were going to the mall. I went to the music store, bought the two cassette set, and then hung out at the mall with my brother and my dad I'm sure it was awkward for my brother (considering he and my parents weren't speaking when he moved out) but I do remember them talking a lot that day. I think this was in October.

Our dad died in the next January...I remember feeling very ashamed and selfish that I had hatched such a plan to go buy an album, but I was really wanting to listen to "don't cry" and "November rain" and after thinking about it for a few years, I realized that I possibly gave my brother and father the chance to work things out. My order brother has since past on also.

Not sure if that was my exact first album purchase but certainly the most memorable!
