keep it simple; this should be interesting
78 - i wasn't alive
reel-to-reel (my mom & dad, not me...Sound of Music soundtrack so this was kind-of a cheat answer)
45 - Moving Pictures - What about me? don't laugh, i had $1.50 burning a hole in my pocket and it was an impulse buy at Musicland in Twin-City Mall
LP - Pyromania
8-track - Glass Houses
Cassette - Kilroy Was Here...then shortly after I discovered how to defraud Columbia House and the rout was on!
CD - I think it was Filigree & Shadow by This Mortal Coil but not 100% sure

8 track- Rolling Stones, Exile on Main St
Cassette-Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gold and Platimun
CD-Rolling Stones-Hot Rocks, Beatles-Help

I think that's correct. It's been so long.
I didn't buy many cassettes, 8 tracks, and R to R.

45 - Ballroom Blitz and Fox On the Run -Sweet
LP - Kiss - Rock and Roll Over
I do no think I ever actually bought an 8 track
Cassettes would have been a Columbia House bundle that likely included Queen, Journey, .38 Special, J. Geils, Hall and Oats, Boston and others.

I do not remember the first of anything I got
Never bought a 78 or reel to reel but, my great aunt had some 78s that she would occasionally listen to, dont recall what they were though. I think something like Glen Miller or some such thing.
My neighbor had a reel to reel but always recorded stuff on it rather than buying music.
The first 45 I remember listening to a lot was Yesterday by the Beatles but I'm pretty sure that was my older sister's.
Album, 8-track or cassette, I can't recall. I had all of them, and it would have been in the time period from 73-76.

78 Single: “Jimmy Crack Corn” b/w “Blue-Tailed Fly”; Burl Ives, about age 4 in 1964
R-R: didn’t have one, but older brothers both did; one was AKAI & other was TEAC; one classical & one Deep Purple Machine Head, LZII, Uriah Heep, etc
45 Single: Beatles “Get Back” original release, b/w “Don’t Let Me Down”. Still have it.
LP: Capitol “Meet The Beatles” from Record Club Of America”; also still have it.
8-Track: never bought any; a friend had a Pioneer 8-track recorder & we copied our LPs to play in my Craig under-dash player in my 1971 LeMans, pushing Jensen 6x9s
Cassette: also never bought any; made my own on Maxell UDXLII-C90s with my Technics cassette deck recording from my turntable (also Technics) playing through my Pioneer SX-636 receiver; still have the turntable & receiver, and they work
CD: not sure but likely something Beatles (see a pattern?)

45- Toto "Hold the Line", I think. Maybe some Jim Croce one.
LP- might have been Close Encounters of the Third Kind soundtrack.
(My older siblings had a number of good albums already)
8 track - Something from Billy Joel, can't remember.
We didn't really do much with 8 tracks. Annoying to listen to, couldn't fast forward, some songs split between tracks.
Cassette- Reo Speedwagon- Good Trouble. Lol again, mostly we had LPs.
CD- definitely Bruce Springsteen "Born in the USA" I distinctly recall getting my first CD player around 1985 and getting that album. Also bought the same day a Kansas greatest hits CD, but the boss was played first.
