First Album You Bought With Your Own Money

2XL came out in 1978.

I had one ('79?) but very few of the tapes for it. Mine didn't move. It was supposed to be an educational toy. It got boring after I memorized the tapes.

Yes, that must have been it. It had tapes that were educational or interactive with the robot. But we didn't have much patience for that. Not when we could be rockin' out with John Travolta and OLJ.
