First record you ever bought.

[Brandane]

Further to the Record Store Day thread, and as a search reveals this subject hasn't been done for 10 years - what was the first record you ever bought? No cheating for the sake of credibility, all you Bay City Roller fans .

This was mine....... (In my defence, I WAS 7 years old!).

[Brandane]

Too much credibility going on here! There must be someone else who bought something naff as their first record. Don't be shy!

The first one bought with my own pocket money.

This could be embarrassing but mine was Adam and the Ants, even formed a band and had my own ants. What was I thinking.

At least the Jam were cool and had a bit of street cred. Next time someone asks, I may just say the Jam.

In 1952 I went on a Cub camp to Sherwood Forest. Whilst there I bought a copy of "The Theme from "Limelight" by the Frank Chacksfield Orchestra" as a gift for my mother. It was a 78 and didnt make it home in one piece!

The Jam - This is the Modern World (LP). I still prefer it to the first LP, even though most people say it's the worst of all of them.

"Where do you go to my lovely?", by Peter Sarstedt, as a present for my mum.

She Loves You by the Beatles.

My brother and I bought it in a second hand shop. It had a hole in the disc half way through the track so we used have to stand by the radiogram and lift the arm up before the stylus reached it, then put it down just clear of it.
