With a massive £1.65 from my paper round, I tended to be really careful with records I bought and whilst I ended up with a lot of naff stuff (Toyah, Flock of Seagulls) I think my first buys stood the test of time. First single -

First album was about the same time -

Both became classics.

I bought two howlers for my first purchase, Greg Lake (I believe...) and....ummmmmm The Goodies (Make a daft noise...). FFS!

 

[Bonefish Blues]

First I ever bought was for my mother at Christmas, Portsmouth by Mike Oldfield.

First for myself was Kate and Anna McGarrigle's eponymous first album.

 

[Bazzer]

First single David Bowie - John I'm Only Dancing

 

[wonderloaf]

Rocket Man by Elton John. Bought one of those ex-jukebox 45's without the centre....remember them?

 

[Saluki]

The first 45 that I bought with my own money was Follow You, Follow Me - Genesis. First LP was Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd.

 

[Milzy]

Thunder - dirty love

 

[GM]

40 Miles of bad road, by Duane Eddy.

Living Doll cliff richards showing my age here !

 

[Tin Pot]

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

Do cassettes count?

Slippery When Wet.

ELO - Out Of The Blue
Bought it from Our Price in Croydon in 1976. It was the blue vinyl version. I still have it and it get's a spin on the works death deck now and again (all my vinyl is kept at work)
I love the album just as much now as back when I first got it.

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 .

I saw an earlier version of the Rollers at Cragburn.... (a pre famous line up).

First record...
Pet Sounds...Beach Boys.
